I accidently selected the wrong group of photos to delete in mobile, is there a way to undo this?

    If you deleted photos from Lightroom mobile, there is no way whatsoever to get them back unfortunately. They won't be visible in the iTunes trick described above since Lightroom mobile will have deleted them from there too as well as from the cloud.

    Is there any chance that you still have a copy of these in the Photos app?

    No, but I do have them on a hard drive, but it took hours to cull and figure out what I'd deleted...but I'm much more careful now!

    Hi shrsultan1212,

    Which version of Lightroom mobile and which mobile device are you working on? When exactly did you deleted the images and how many of them?

    Thansk,

    -Iphone X, using LR mobile version 3.4

    -30 mins ago, accidently filtered "flags" instead of "rejects" and deleted about 25 photos.

    Please check out this article on how to use iTunes File sharing to recover the deleted images. Refer How to recover Lightroom for mobile (iOS) photos using iTunes File Sharing

    I am not certain that it will work but it would be worth giving a try.
