Hello everyone. 

I was transfering photos via cable from s22 to my laptop. When finished I accidentaly clicked either CTRL+Z or clicked undo and all these photos (more than 1600) disappeared in a second. I downloaded recovery apps from Play Store but non of them shows me even a single photo oit of 1600 in preview thumbnails. Can you please advice me wgat can I do to get these photos back with same size and resolution?

Did you back up your phone files to Samsung Cloud? Do a restore from cloud.

Thanks for your reply but unfortunately I've never created an accound on samsung cloud. Therefore it will not be probably helpful to get back these photos if I do it right now.

Check Google photos. Unless you specifically turned off or did not log into your Google account, your photos would be backed up there. How are you using your phone without a Samsung account? Your phone backs up nightly to the cloud, but if a day went by since the photos were deleted, they would not be included. If the photos are backed up in Google you would be able to download them to your computer. This option is only available on the website from a web browser. Instructions are in rhe help center. If they are in Google photos, you can also go to takeout.google.com, select Google photos, and you can download the photos. Don't forget to deselect all the other data types.

Thank you for your reply but I think it's little bit hopeless situation because they disappeared several days ago on Oct 15. Yes I registered in Samsung Email in my phone before (I mean where there are Gmail, Chrome, Maps, Drive, Photos, Google icons). But I don't know instruction how to back up photos.

 

Settings/Accounts and backup/Back up data in Google drive field and it told me that datas are backed up but I can't see where they are.

Either open the Google photos app on your phone or open a web browser and go to photos.google.com.  If your photos are there, you will see them.  You would have had to specifically turn Google backup off in order to not have them back up automatically because it is on by default.  If you never knew where the setting was, you couldn't have turned it off.  Of course, this does assume that your phone has remained logged into your Google account, as it can only back up when connected.
