History deleted and without self-archiving: can it be recovered?
Unfortunately, if you shared a story when the auto archive option wasn't active on your device the answer is DO NOT. We want to emphasize how hard this doesn't, even if it sounds harsh it really is categorical.
There are sites, applications or people who may make you believe otherwise, but these are scams, with the sole purpose of giving you false hope to be able to get some money out of you. Be wary always of those who say they can perform impossible recoveries, because it is not feasible.
Avoid feeling cheated, because in addition to the damage of not being able to recover the photos there would be the insult of having been robbed and having had an unreal hope.
The only thing you could do in this case is make up for it the future story and turn on automatic archiving.
