Android Data Recovery is another effective program that allows you to recover lost data.

It is advised to use Google Photos to keep a backup of all your photos and other data, so you can easily restore them whenever you wish.
Note:Once you have deleted the photos, it is not recommended to use your device for saving any other data until the lost data is recovered. This is because, when a photo or album is deleted from the phone, it does not mean that it has been deleted permanently, but it just creates space for more data. Hence, any new data on your device can overwrite that space, which would sometimes make lost data unrecoverable.
