Accidentally deleted a picture in Google Photos? No problem - it can be restored relatively quickly..
It can happen quickly: you are about to delete a few old pictures and suddenly a current picture is gone. In this case, you don't need to despair. All images stored in Google Photos are not deleted directly, but rather moved to a kind of recycle bin. This gives you an opportunity to easily restore your file. The procedure is the same for Android and iPhone.
When you delete a picture or video from your smartphone in the Google Photos app, it is not gone straight away. Instead, it is moved to the trash and stored there for 60 days. You can then use the recycle bin to restore or permanently delete the picture or video. After the period of around 2 months, the file is then automatically deleted and cannot be restored.
