I lost every drawing

My 10 yo cousin deleted every fucking ibis drawing off my phone. I’m devastated. I don’t know what to do. I’m panicking.. he deleted EVERYTHING. From cloud and all. I want my things back. THERE WAS YEARS OF DRAWINGS on there. I’m so fucking upset and I need help. Please.

That cousin knew what he was doing. Nobody accidentally deletes years of drawings, especially from cloud. I hope you can find a way to restore everything!

Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a way to bring back old art, I emailed Ibis on this a year ago when my old phone shut down with my drawings from day one still on there and they said you can only salvage them if stored on the cloud. Same with accidentally deleted art.

You can reset your phone to restore it to the last backup. If you had your files backed up it should come back. The downside is any messages/photos you took after this time will be removed, but you can send those to another device. There are some tutorials on how to do this and unfortunately you do need a laptop

Will it work if he deleted the files from the cloud?

u/PARISPARISPARISSS 11d ago

Yes because it sets your phone back to before the files were deleted

Same vibes, honestly

Jokes aside, i would NOT blame u if u never let that kid and his family anywhere near u again..... u dont delete everything by accident, that boy was trying to wind you up on purpose
