We have to accept the fact that there's no 100% effective way to avoid data loss on iPhone. You may lose data from iPhone storage due to mistaken deletion. Or you may factory reset your iPhone to fix some glitches, and all data is gone after the reset. Since there's no external card in the iPhone, you may ask: Is there a way to recover data from the iPhone's internal memory card? The answer is Yes. This article will show you some feasible ways to do iPhone memory recovery.
Yes. It is possible to recover your lost data from your iPhone's internal memory card. Depending on whether you have a backup or not, the data type you deleted and the methods of iPhone memory recovery vary.
* Look for the "Recently Deleted" folder. There is a chance to undelete your data on your iPhone quickly. For example, you can restore photos in the "Recently Deleted" folder on the Photos app (Follow the guide to recover deleted photos from your iPhone). Besides photos, you can also undelete voicemail, notes, etc., on your iPhone.
* Get data back from your previous iTunes/iCloud backup.
