How to Recover Deleted Images on Android Through Dumpster
For those who don't know Dumpster, it's a special application that you can access and download from the official play store of Google. It has a useful feature that can help you bring back your lost pictures, given that you have recently deleted them from your device.
Although you can rely on DeepScan, there are some drawbacks that you can experience using it. This app is full of ads, so you must be patient when you are a free trial user.
With that, you need to wait for at least 30 seconds for an ad to finish. If you want to jump right away and avoid advertisements at all costs, you can purchase the app's premium version for $170 per year. It's quite expensive, but it will save you from a lot of headaches that you can get from the pop-up ads.
Here's how you can recover your deleted images using Dumpster.
- Go to the Play Store and look for Dumpster.
- Download and install it on your device.
- Open the app and go to its Deep Scan section so you can assess what photos you should recover.
- After doing that, choose all the images that you want to retrieve.
