If you have trouble recovering photos from shared albums on your iPhone, here’s something that helped me. Shared albums sometimes don’t appear in your main photo library, so check the 'Shared' tab in the Photos app. From there, you can see all photos shared with you or by you, and sometimes photos seem 'deleted' when they’re just hidden or removed from the album but still in iCloud. Additionally, tools like FoneTool offer a straightforward way to recover deleted photos even if you don’t have a backup. It scans your iPhone deeply to find photos marked as deleted but not yet permanently removed. To use it, connect your phone to your computer, start the scan, and preview recoverable photos before restoring. Don’t forget to regularly back up your device via iCloud or your computer. This habit saves you from potential data loss worries. I recommend setting automatic backups so you never lose precious memories. If you want to prevent accidental deletes, also look into managing your storage and photo settings in iOS 18 — Apple made some helpful improvements recently to manage data safely.
