3. Tap on the photos and videos you'd like to recover and tap on "Recover". 

Option 2: Check My Photo Stream 

If you've got Photo Stream enabled in iCloud (You can check Settings > iCloud > Photos > My Photo Stream on your iPhone or iPad), maybe you can find deleted photos from it.

1. Open the Photos app on your iPhone or iPad. 
2. From the menu on the bottom, tap on "Albums" and then choose "My Photo Stream". 
3. Here you can check whether your deleted or lost photos are here. 

Option 3: Using iTunes Backup 

If you have synced your iPhone with iTunes, there's a strong chance that the last back that iTunes took of your iPhone has those deleted photos. You can try restoring your iPhone from the latest iTunes backup to get the photos back.

1. Connect your iPhone to the computer and open iTunes. 
2. Click on your device and press "Restore Backup…".
3. Then choose the backup you want to restore from and proceed.

Tip: Please note that the contacts, messages, mail and other data in the iTunes backup will also get restored to your iPhone.

Option 4: Using Third-Party Software 

If you have no backup files, don't panic, you can try a third-party iPhone photo recovery tool. Here FoneGeek iPhone Recovery software is recommended. It can directly scan and recover deleted photos/videos from iPhone XS/XS Max/XR, iPhone X, 8/8 Plus, 7/7 plus, se, 6s/6s plus, or iPad Pro, iPad Air 2, iPad mini 4/2, etc. Besides, you can recover deleted or lost contacts, call logs, text messages, WhatsApp, Viber, notes, reminders, calendar, Safari bookmarks, voicemails, voice memos, and more data.
