What Happens After You Delete Photos on iPhone?

Quick answer: After you confirm deletion with iOS, photos move to the Recently Deleted album. They stay there for a limited time before permanent removal. You can restore them during that window.

How Recently Deleted works

iOS keeps deleted photos in a special album for 30 days by default. During this time you can restore them from the Photos app. After the period expires, they are permanently deleted and storage is freed.

What Picluma does

Picluma always confirms deletions through iOS so your photos follow the normal Recently Deleted behavior. Picluma itself does not control recovery.
