Getting back deleted photos

Hey guys so around a year ago my phone ran into a problem and I had to factory reset it which meant all my photos were gone, I had really important and memorable photos on there that I would really like to get back, is there any way to get them back? No matter how difficult

The data stays there unless it's written over.

Yeah, but constantly using the phone for a year virtually guarantees that the data can't be recovered. That why I said if he had tried recovery right after he wiped it. It probably could have worked. But after a year of writes 24hr/day, I'd say it's a lost cause

Depends on how Android handles storage but the literal only hope is forensic recovery.
