Photo recovery android

[anonymous-user]

I was having trouble with my camera app so uninstalled/reinstalled it.Fixed the app but unfortunately lost some photos.Not sure why as my gallery app is separate.
Is there anyway of recovering these photos without rooting and for free ? I don't think there were any important photos lost but I would like to check if nothing else .
I've tried a few programs via my pc but either they didn't work or they wanted to charge upfront.
Cheers

Daz, sorry if this is stating the obvious, but did you have 'google backup sync' enabled beforehand?
See the last section on here - https://support.google.com/photos/answer/6193313?c...
eta - have you tried the 'bin' in the gallery app to see if they've moved to there

Jon I don't use the google apps for the camera or gallery and in fact the gallery app doesn't have a backup facility at all.
After further investigation it would appear that photos on the internal memory survived but those on the sd card were 'deleted'
I say 'deleted' because I found a whole bunch of photos in Windows explorer when I popped the sd card into my pc but it couldn't show any of them so no idea what they even are

Yep that seems to have been partially successful.
Got a whole load of images recovered,some won't open,some will, I'll have to go through them.

Just use Google Photos and tick the boxes that backup your photos, next time you might not be so lucky.
You are using an Android phone so it can't be paranoia that is stopping you using it.
