Question-answer:
Is it possible to recover deleted photos from my iPhone 3GS camera roll?
Unfortunately, once you delete photos from your iPhone 3GS camera roll, they are permanently deleted and cannot be recovered directly from the device. However, if you have previously created a backup of your iPhone using iTunes or iCloud, you may be able to restore the deleted photos from the backup. To do this, you would need to connect your iPhone to the computer and restore the backup using iTunes or access the iCloud backup through your iPhone settings. Keep in mind that restoring from a backup will revert your device to the state it was in when the backup was created, so any changes made after the backup will be lost.
