Recovering photos from permanently deleted Apple Account

Hello Apple Support,

I would like to request assistance with my permanently deleted Apple Account.

I requested the deletion on 20 September 2026. My account contained many important personal photos, and I no longer have my old iPhone or any other copies of these photos.

I would like to know whether my account deletion has been completed and whether there is any possible way to recover my photos.

I understand that permanent deletion may not be reversible, but I would appreciate it if you could check my case and advise me on any available options.

Thank you for your help.

You reached a public forum and not Apple support. However, it’s been over a month since you requested deletion and the window to cancel account deletion is fairly short. You can try contacting Apple support directly with the deletion cancelation code emailed to you, but don’t get your hopes up. Once the account deletion is completed, there is nothing you can do.

Contact Apple by call or chat from Contact Apple Support - Apple Support Scroll towards the bottom of the link to see direct phone numbers for your region.
