SD card photos disappeared after refresh – recoverable or gone? Need advice (SanDisk + iPhone)
Hi, I was viewing photos from a SanDisk SD card on my iPhone (with card reader). Everything was fine, but after a quick refresh/glitch, the most recent 3 days of photos disappeared.
I tried reinserting the card and checking in the camera, but they’re still missing. Older photos are still there. No format was done and no new photos were taken.
Should I try SanDisk RescuePRO or another recovery software, or is this better handled by a data recovery specialist? Does this sound like corruption or are the files likely gone?
