I had deleted pictures that my son had taken (of the rug or his feet lol) and when I got my new phone I did a content restore and I now have them all back again, apparently my phone stored them in the cloud (I have a galaxy s6)

So my hubs works for Apple and said must phones do but it's possible that your phone may have, had a glitch and most likely deleted them. 😕

I'm not sure about some other phones but iPhone's you go to your picture and it'll have a delete folder and you can recover them. Hopefully you can girl.

if I do I don't know how to get to it @beautifulangel

You might be able to get them back. Do you have a delete file in your picture album on your phone?
