Apple’s next major update to iOS, iPadOS, and macOS will reportedly add a new “Recovery” album to the Photos app to help you find photos and videos that may have been lost or damaged on your device. 9 to 5.
When you update to iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and macOS Sequoia, your device will scan for potential photos or videos that may appear in the Recovered album. 9 to 5 Report. If available, the restored album will appear in the Utilities section of the application.
Please note that the “Recovered” album is separate from the “Recently Deleted” album, and your deleted photos will be accessible for 30 days before they are permanently deleted. I’ve asked Apple whether photos or videos in “Restore” albums will eventually be automatically deleted as well, and will update this story based on the response I receive.
Apple released public beta versions of iOS 18, iPadOS 18, macOS Sequoia and other systems on Monday.
