Photo Recovery: Recycle Bin

Most "photo recovery" apps promise to bring back pictures you deleted months ago. That promise is not real: on a phone without root no app can read the raw storage chip, and encryption makes leftovers unreadable anyway. This app does only what Android genuinely allows, and says plainly where the limits are.

🧭 WHERE DID MY PHOTO GO?
• Answer three quick questions: what is missing, how, and when
• Get an ordered list of real places it may still be: the system trash, your gallery's or Google Photos' trash, a chat folder, your computer
• One tap opens each place. When nothing on the phone can still hold the file, the guide says so

♻️ RESTORE FROM THE SYSTEM TRASH (ANDROID 11+)
• Photos and videos moved to the trash go back to their original folder in one tap: the real file, not a copy
• A countdown shows how many days each item has left; sort by "expiring soonest"
• Optional reminder before items expire, plus a home-screen widget

✅ PROOF, BYTE FOR BYTE
• Every copy is compared with its original (SHA-256): verified, mismatch or not checked, kept in the recovery log
• Files already in your library or restored before are pointed out, so you avoid duplicates

🗑 RECYCLE BIN FOR YOUR OWN DELETES
• Anything you delete through this app is kept for 7, 15 or 30 days
• Restore in one tap, or empty the bin to get the space back

🛡 PROTECTION VAULT
• Keep private copies of the photos and videos you cannot afford to lose
• "Check originals" tells you which protected files disappeared from your phone
• Lock the vault with your fingerprint, face or screen lock
• Recovery after the fact is a gamble. A copy made beforehand is not.

📸 SAFETY NET FOR NEW PHOTOS AND VIDEOS
• When on, keeps a short-term copy of new photos and videos (7, 15 or 30 days, up to 5 GB)
• Shows how many new photos have a copy, why any were missed, and copies them now
• It only protects what arrives after you turn it on

🔎 FOLDER SCAN WITH HONEST LABELS
• Pick a folder (thumbnail caches, camera, LOST.DIR, WhatsApp, Telegram) and see what is in it
• Results are labelled: in your library, not in your library, or probably a thumbnail
• Stickers, cache and app images are grouped apart so they don't bury your photos
• Photos still on the device are never listed as "found"

🔥 SECURE ERASE
• Overwrite chosen files with zeros, then delete them; or fill free space with zeros
• The app tells you exactly which files it could not overwrite

💯 WHAT NO APP CAN DO — INCLUDING THIS ONE
• Recover a file permanently deleted before the app was installed
• Undo a deletion that skipped the trash entirely
• Bring back deleted contacts, messages or call logs
• Read the Google Photos cloud trash, which lives on Google's servers (the guide opens it in your browser)
The app has a screen explaining exactly this, in plain language.

🔒 YOUR FILES STAY ON YOUR PHONE
• Scanning, checking and recovery run entirely on this device
• File contents, file names and folder paths never leave it
• Free with ads (Google AdMob); Premium removes them
• Network permission is used for ads and, only if you switch it on, crash reports and anonymous usage counts (off by default)
• No account
• Getting your files back is always free and never behind an ad. Premium, or one short video for 30 minutes, adds extras: a vault beyond 100 items, a check of every vault copy at once, Safety net copies kept 60 or 90 days or up to 10 GB
