The first iPad was launched eight years ago, set as the standard for lightness and thinness. Ever since then, the trend of the iPad has begun to show thinner and lighter. People enjoy watching videos on the iPad for its large screen, excellent display and convenient to use. Nevertheless, due to iOS upgrade failure, factory reset, accidental deletion or other facts, you may lose videos files from your iPad. Are you wondering how to retrieve lost or deleted videos from your iPad? Well, we will introduce 4 ways to help getting back those precious video files.

1. Recover from "Recently Deleted" Folder

When you delete a video on the iPad, it is not permanently erased from your device practically as the new feature "Recently Deleted" was added since iOS 8. Similar to Trash on Mac, this folder is used to recycle those files users delete for about 30 days. They will be removed by the system automatically after the 30-day-period and that's why you are not able to find deleted videos here. To recover them from "Recently Deleted" Folder, simply follow the steps below.

Step 1. Open Photos app on the iPad.

Step 1. Launch Safari on your iPad.

Step 2. Open the official site of iCloud and enter your Apple ID, password to sign in the account.

Step 3：Click on the Photos icon after logging and check whether those videos can be found there.
