After clicking the ‘Albums’ option at the top-left of your display, the main ‘Albums’ menu display, showing your Camera Roll, videos, any favourites you've added and your Recently Deleted folder.

Inside the ‘Recently Deleted folder’, you'll see all of your deleted images from up to 30 days ago.

Click the specific image and tap ‘Recover’ at the bottom-right of your screen to restore an image back to your Camera Roll,
