Fix Facebook randomly deleting photos from my account
It is recommended that you try out each of the below-mentioned workarounds and then see which one spells out success. So with that in mind, let’s get started.
FIX 1: Access Photos from Memories
According to a few affected users, they are being notified via Facebook that “the images aren’t gone they’ve just been removed from public view and put into your memories and you can access/re-share them from there.” In other words, the social media giant is recommending users access their photos from ‘Memories’ > ‘Highlights’. While that might work up to an extent, but what about the accounts of loved ones who have passed away? It’s obvious that you cannot access their account to share from their “Memories.”
FIX 2: Use Facebook Website
For many, the issue is only bugging the mobile [both Android and iOS build] but has not affected the website. So your next course of action could be to access your photos by logging onto your Facebook account on its website.
That’s it. These were the two workarounds that seem to have spelled success for a bunch of users when it comes to fixing the issue of Facebook randomly deleting photos from their accounts. As far as the official stance on this matter is concerned, the developers are yet to acknowledge this issue, let alone give out any ETA for the rollout of a fix. As and when any of these two things happen, we will update this guide accordingly. In the meantime, the aforementioned workarounds are your best bet.
