1 Can You Recover WhatsApp Deleted Photos on iPhone without Backup?

Well, the answer to the question is quite simple. "YES, it can be recovered". If you cease your iPhone from any usage immediately after a data loss scenario and bring a data recovery tool in action to recover your lost data, chances are that you may be able to recover almost all your data. If in case you continue using your device after experiencing data loss, chances to recover data in such a case are highly diminished. Why? Well to understand this, let's get to know how can the deleted data be recovered.

Basically, all your data saved on your iPhone is stored using SQLite database. Now, if you delete any of your data like photos, videos, messages or any other data – be it intentionally or unintentionally – it is not removed or erased immediately from your iPhone. Instead, the space consumed by that data is marked as "Free" or "Available". That means your data is still within your iPhone but in the hidden state. Here comes the data recovery tool handy. The data recovery tool finds out the hidden data and makes it visible again. That's to say, if you continue the use of your iPhone, the new data gets stored onto the hidden data's storage location. Hence, the hidden data gets overwritten which also diminishes the chances of its recovery to a huge extent.
