When you remove a photo from your cell phone, it may not be gone for good. That is great news if you accidentally delete an important photo. But it could be a big problem if a photo you wanted to delete is still on your phone. You may think when you tap the trash can icon to delete a photo, that photo is no longer on your phone. But that may not be true. The photo may stay on your phone for a while to give you a chance to restore it. So, it is important for you to know what happens to a photo when you send it to the trash. When you tap the trash can icon on iPhone or iPad, you will see a confirmation. It asks if you want to delete or cancel. When you choose delete a notice tells you the photo will be deleted from all your devices. Your photo will disappear from view then and there. But it is not truly gone. Instead, the image is sent to the Recently Deleted album in the Photos app where it remains for 30 days.
