For Android devices you can download a third party app from the PlayStore to recover your deleted photos and videos. Apps like DiskDigger and Deleted Photo Recovery are simplest ones to use. Once you've deleted something you can use the app to scan the device for recently deleted files.
For ios users however, things get even simpler. The new latest ios will create a Recently Deleted in Photos app and the deleted items will remain in the folder for 30 days. So even if you delete something in a hurry, you can always restore it from that folder. But if you've deleted something permanently you will have to use your iCloud or iTunes to restore the lost data.
Contacts and Text messages:
Apps like Fone Paw Android Data Recovery and Android data Recovery will help users track and retrieve all the lost contacts, text messages and even photos from your device. It works well on all Android devices and it is available for free on the Google Play Store.
As for ios users, Apple has tried to make sure that their customers don't have to rely on third-party apps so much for basic things.
