    I don't know.
    My wife was trying to free up some memory in her samsung S7 phone and has ended up accidentally deleting all her photos. Is there anyone in Dumaguete that would be able to recover the lost data from her phone.

    No back up on Cloud, Google drive or Google photos?

    SST Laptop /SST Repair Specialists @Robinsons Their site mentions Data recovery. There are also downloads on the Net to recover all data (even deleted photos) on your S7 device...... Read between lines and download one with great reviews (research a bit)
    Here is one to catch the drift. Cheers and hope it helps.

    On a laptop I once recovered all images by restoring previous versions on the picture folder. Worked perfectly no-download, but that was only when nothing is over written. In other words...........I would not let her take any images until you get the fix. Over writing is exactly how to delete the binary for ever.

    You case unfortunately illustrates the problem of digital photos probably not being available for future generations to view. I have a photo of a whole family of parents and 7 kids (my ancestors) going back 150 years - and, no, they were not gorillas!

    How likely is that in the future??? Even when backed-up, will future devices be able to read them? But then, perhaps in the future it will be possible to recover every single piece of data ever produced (which will be worrying for many).

    I suspect most teenagers now taking thousands of selfies are not even backing them up and will lose them all.

    I have still a number of photo albums with printed pictures, both black & white and colour. When stored well, the quality of all photos hardly will deteriorate or fade. No need to wonder these photos cannot longer be viewed by future generations.
    When back up digital photos make 2 back ups on different drives or whats ever, so better safe than sorry.

    If she setup her google account when she setup the phone then her photos were backed up on Google drive/ photos... go look and see... all might be okay

    does not require you to manually backup but it is a setting in Android and it might have been set to on... have you looked ?
