How to Recover Deleted Photos on iPad

“How do I recover deleted photos on iPad? I organized my photos into Folders for easy viewing then deleted them from the Camera Roll thinking that once in folders my photos would be safe. But soon I discovered that deleting photos from the camera roll also deletes the photos from the folders!”

When you come across this kind of problem, take it easy, there are two ways for you to achieve iPad photo recovery. If you have done a backup via iTunes before you deleted the photos, you could recover deleted iPad photos from previous iTunes backup. If you forget to back up your iPad in advance, don’t worry, you can still recover deleted iPad pictures directly from your iPad. Certainly, both the two solutions need the professional iPhone/iPod/iPad photo recovery software – Leawo iOS Data Recovery.
