What to Do if You Accidentally Delete Photos From Your Phone

On iOS, this one’s easy. If you delete a photo (or all of your photos ever), they’re not gone for good the moment you tap the trash can icon. Scroll down through your albums in Photos. The very last one you should see—in the main “Albums” listing, not the secondary “My Albums” listing—is an album called Recently Deleted. You can’t miss it. Its icon is boring, gray, and trash-can-shaped.

Tap that, and you’ll be able to restore anything you accidentally deleted. Your iPhone will keep deleted photos around for just around a month or so. the dates listed on the photos are countdowns. Once they reach zero, the photos are automatically exiled from your device forever.
The same is true for any photos you delete on iCloud. They aren’t gone forever—at least, not initially. Just go restore them from the Recently Deleted folder. Ta-da.
Android users have a similar deal. First off, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t be automatically backing up all of your photos to Google Photos. If it isn’t already installed on your Android device, find it, install it, and set it to automatically Back Up & Sync your device’s photos with Google’s cloud.
With Google Photos having your back, restoring deleted images is easy. If you ever accidentally wipe something off your phone (via Google Photos), you have an easy way to restore it. Just pull up Google’s Photos app, tap on the hamburger icon, tap on Trash, tap on “Restore,” and select any photos you want to raise from the dead. If you delete an image in another photos app, just go to Google Photos, find the picture, and download it to your device.
If you’ve deleted your photos before doing setting up Google Photos, Reddit user td888 recommends the free Android app DiskDigger photo recovery, which appears to have worked to solve fire_arms’ initial problem. Install this as soon as you realize your accidental deletion. The app scans through your device’s cache and thumbnails for recently deleted photos and, if it finds what you just removed, it’ll give you the option to restore your pictures. You might not be as thrilled with the results, as DiskDigger notes, but it’s better than nothing:

Anthony Weiner jailed for 21 months for sexting underage girl

Ex-New York congressman Anthony Weiner burst into tears as he was sentenced to 21 months in jail for sending sexually explicit messages to an underage girl. He pleaded guilty in May to transferring obscene material to a minor and agreed not to appeal against a prison sentence of 27 months or less. Weiner, 53, quit Congress in 2011 over a sex scandal and was again exposed in his 2013 run for New York mayor. His lawyers had asked a US District Judge for probation instead of jail. But in sentencing Weiner, US District Judge Denise Cote said: "This is a serious crime that deserves serious punishment." She also said Weiner "has a disease. He has a compulsivity. Some say a sex addiction." Acting Manhattan US Attorney Joon H Kim said in a statement that Weiner "asked a girl who he knew to be 15 years old to display her naked body and engage in sexually explicit behaviour for him online". "Justice demands that this type of conduct be pros...

Nigeria hunger crises can kill 200 children per day.

  Two hundred children could die each day from hunger in northeastern Nigeria as a result of the ongoing conflict in the country, a humanitarian agency has warned. Up to half of all children under the age of five are acutely malnourished, international charity Save the Children said on Monday, after screening the health of boys and girls in the region between June and October in 2016. The figure could be even worse in areas that are out of reach because of insecurity, according to the report. Children are presenting in desperate conditions and facing severe malnutrition, often in combination with other life-threatening illnesses like pneumonia, malaria and diarrhoea," said Ben Foot, Save the Children country director. "For some cases this may be the second or third time they have fought malnutrition so their immune systems are already severely weakened." Violent attacks on civilians since 2009 by the armed group Boko H...
