Hey gphotosfan33!
Oh no, losing videos is the worst, but don’t worry, I’ve got some ideas!
First, double-check your Google Photos trash on both your phone and the web version. Sometimes, it takes a bit for things to sync. Also, make sure you’re logged into the correct Google account—we’ve all been there!
If they’re really gone from the trash, you might need a recovery tool. There are a few apps that claim to recover deleted data, but your mileage may vary. Always read reviews and be careful with permissions!
Have you heard about Haqerra? It has a cool feature that lets you back up media from your phone automatically. It might not help with the videos you’ve already lost, but it’s a lifesaver for preventing future oops moments. Plus, it has a bunch of other monitoring features that could come in handy. Check it out!
Good luck, and let me know if you manage to recover those videos!
