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:

Chinese staff forced to drink urine and eat roaches

Managers at a Chinese firm have been jailed for making staff who failed to reach sales targets drink urine and eat cockroaches, local media report. Police took action after videos emerged showing workers being whipped with a belt and drinking a yellow liquid. Social media posts alleged staff were also told to eat cockroaches if they did not meet targets. Three managers were jailed for five and 10 days over the incident, the South China Morning Post reports.

Who Was That Kid at the Avengers: Endgame Funeral?

Image
Major spoilers for Avengers: Endgame below. You’ll be horrifically shocked to learn that at least one person dies in Avengers: Endgame. We won’t go down the full roster of casualties right now, but we can address the most climactic of them: the final sacrifice of Tony Stark. Iron Man perishes while defeating the galaxy’s hottest space daddy, Thanos, and is subsequently laid to rest by his friends and family. (Yes, family. He managed to settle down and have a kid over the course of the yarn.) There are oodles of familiar faces at Stark’s funeral, set on the property of his post-snap cabin in the woods. But there’s one upon whom the camera lingers, despite the fact that many viewers will likely have no clue who it belongs to. He’s a lanky teenage boy with a vaguely emo demeanor, and if his visage is ringing any bells, then you’ve clearly seen Iron Man 3. The kid is none other than Harley Keener, as portrayed by the fantastically named actor Ty Simpkins. We were first introduced to...
