How to Recover Deleted Videos from Android

Recovering deleted videos from an Android device can be possible if you act quickly and use the right tools. Here are steps to recover deleted videos from Android:

Method 1: Using a Backup

1. Check if you have a backup: If you had previously backed up your Android device using Google Drive, a third-party backup app, or any other method, you may be able to restore the deleted videos from the backup. Here’s how to check for a Google Drive backup:

• Open the “Google Drive” app on your Android device.
• Tap the three horizontal lines (menu icon) in the top-left corner.
• Tap “Backups.”
• Select the device that you want to restore from.
• If a backup with the deleted videos is available, you can choose to restore it.

Method 2: Use a Data Recovery App

There are several Android data recovery apps available on the Google Play Store that can help you recover deleted videos. One popular option is “Dr.Fone – Data Recovery (Android).” Here’s how to use it:

1. Download and install a reputable Android data recovery app from the Google Play Store, such as “Dr.Fone – Data Recovery (Android).”
2. Open the app and follow the on-screen instructions to grant the necessary permissions.
3. Connect your Android device to your computer using a USB cable.
4. In the data recovery app, select the types of files you want to recover, which in this case are videos.
5. Start the scanning process. The app will scan your device for deleted videos.
6. Once the scan is complete, the app will display a list of recoverable videos.
7. Select the videos you want to recover and click the “Recover” button.
8. Choose a location on your computer to save the recovered videos.
9. After the recovery process is complete, you can transfer the recovered videos back to your Android device.

The success of video recovery depends on various factors, including how long ago the videos were deleted and whether the storage space has been overwritten by new data. It’s essential to perform the recovery as soon as possible for the best chances of success.

Method 3: Contact a Professional Data Recovery Service

If the above methods do not work or if the videos are of significant importance, you may consider contacting a professional data recovery service. These services can often recover data from Android devices, even in more complex scenarios. However, they can be costly, so be sure to weigh the importance of the lost videos against the cost of recovery.
