Easy Ways To Recover Deleted Audio Files From Android & iOS
To recover deleted audio files on your phone, you can follow the instructions listed below:
- Check the Recently Deleted folder (iOS): If you are using an iOS device, look under the Photos app's "Recently Deleted" folder. Audio files may occasionally be momentarily stored there before being permanently removed.
- Examine the Trash or Recycle Bin (Android): Some file managers on Android-based devices contain a "Trash" or "Recycle Bin" feature. Look for these options when you open the file manager application. Your audio files may be in the trash if they were recently erased, and you can recover them from there.
- Use a data recovery app: Both Android and iOS devices can be equipped with a variety of data recovery applications. DiskDigger, Dr.Fone, and iMobie PhoneRescue are a few well-known ones. Install a trustworthy data recovery program from your app store, adhere to the directions, and search your device for lost audio recordings.
- Use a Computer: If you've backed up your smartphone to a computer in the past, you can use data recovery software like EaseUS MobiSaver, iMobie PhoneRescue, or Dr.Fone for iOS or Android by connecting your Android or iOS device to the computer. Deleted audio files can be recovered using these tools, which can scan your device or backup files.
- Check Cloud Storage: Your audio files might be backed up there if you have been utilising cloud storage services like Google Drive, Dropbox, or iCloud. Log into your cloud storage account and see if you can restore the deleted audio files.
- Message customer service: Contact the customer support for your device or the individual apps you used to store audio files if none of the aforementioned solutions are successful. They could have further advice or fixes to assist you in restoring your erased audio files.
Remember, the chances of successful recovery depend on various factors such as the duration since deletion, storage conditions, and usage of the device after deletion. It is always recommended to regularly back up your important files to prevent permanent data loss.
Where Are Audio Files Stored on Android?
On Android devices, audio files are typically stored in the device's internal storage or an external SD card, if available. The specific location may vary depending on the device and the app used to manage the audio files. However, there are a few common locations where you can find audio files on Android:
- Internal Storage: The default location for audio files is often a folder called "Music" or "Audio" located in the internal storage. You can access it using a file manager app, such as Google Files, ES File Explorer, or the built-in file manager app on your device.
- SD Card: If your device has an external SD card, some apps allow you to choose the SD card as the default storage location for audio files. In such cases, you can find the audio files in a folder on the SD card.
- App-Specific Folders: Some apps have their own folders to store audio files. For example, music streaming apps like Spotify or Google Play Music may store offline music in their respective folders. These folders can be accessed within the app settings or through a file manager.
- Downloads Folder: If you have downloaded audio files from the internet or received them via messaging apps, they may be stored in the "Downloads" folder in your internal storage or SD card. Check the "Downloads" folder using a file manager app.
It's worth noting that the exact file path and location can vary between Android versions, device manufacturers, and individual apps. If you're having trouble finding specific audio files, you can also use the search function within your file manager app to look for file names or extensions like ".mp3" or ".wav".
