How To Recover Deleted Photos from Your iOS Devices?

One of the worst feelings among the smartphone users these days is the one when the entire data in the phone gets wiped out without you having a clue about it. Sadly, these are sometimes inevitable and happens even after you take precautions. Moreover, the only thing that you would want then is to somehow retrieve your pictures which are mostly attached to fond memories.

One option is via Photo Stream or iCloud. Quite a lot of configurable options make Photo Stream a viable option for a backup besides a good place to share your photos. So if you've got Photo Stream enabled in iCloud, may be the photos you are looking for are already there. To check this, you should go to Settings > iCloud > Photo Stream > Switch ON ‘My Photo Stream'.
