How to Retrieve Deleted Snapchat Photos on Android?

Accidentally lost crucial photos or videos on Snapchat from your Android device? Don't worry anymore when your favorite snaps and videos get deleted or removed from your phone. In this article, you'll discover efficient ways to effortlessly restore or recover deleted Snapchat photos on Android devices. Follow the solutions provided below to retrieve your lost photos immediately.

Method 1: Recover Deleted Snapchat Photos from Snapchat Cache on Android

Normally, deleted Snapchat photos can be found in a specific folder on Android devices. All received images have the file ending .nomedia, which makes them 'hidden' from regular view.
If you accidentally delete Snapchat photos, you can attempt to locate the cache file folder named com.snapchat.android. This folder contains all your received photos:

com.snapchat.android > cache > received_image_snaps

Method 2: Recover Lost Snapchat Photos from Cloud

If you're unable to locate received Snapchat photos in your Android device's folder, you can attempt to retrieve lost photos from a Cloud backup. Naturally, you should have previously set up synchronization for your Android phone with a Cloud service like Google Drive. Below are detailed steps to recover lost Snapchat photos from Cloud backups: 1. **Sign in to your Cloud Account**: Open the Cloud service app (e.g., Google Drive) on your Android device and sign in with your account credentials. 2. **Access Backup Folder**: Navigate through your Cloud storage to find the backup folder where your Android device's data is stored. This could be named according to your device or labeled as "Android Backup" or something similar. 3. **Find Snapchat Data**: Look for folders or files related to Snapchat within the backup. These might be hidden or stored in a specific application backup section. The file names might not directly indicate Snapchat, so be thorough in your search. 4. **Restore Backup**: Once you locate the Snapchat-related files, you'll need to restore the entire backup or selectively restore the Snapchat data, depending on the Cloud service's features. Follow the app's instructions to initiate the restoration process. 5. **Connect to Wi-Fi**: Restoring a backup can consume significant data, so make sure you're connected to a Wi-Fi network to avoid extra charges. 6. **Reinstall Snapchat**: Uninstall and reinstall Snapchat on your Android device to ensure the latest version is installed and to facilitate the recovery of the backed-up data. 7. **Check for Photos**: After the reinstallation, open Snapchat and check your chat history or Memories to see if the lost photos have been restored. It's important to note that not all Snapchat data may be recoverable, depending on the nature of the backup and the specific photos you're looking for. Remember, the success of this method relies on whether you had enabled Cloud backups for your Android device and if Snapchat data was included in those backups.

• Sign in to your Cloud account;
• Tap on your recent backups - the one that contains your Snapchat photos;
• Click on 'Restore' to retrieve them on your Android device.
