Hi all. I switched my Huawei p30 to a guest user so someone could use it to take photos at my wife's birthday party. Once I got it back I switched to my normal profile. This morning I went back to guest user but accidentally pressed "start again" instead of "continue" and now all the photos are gone. Is there anyway to recovery these? Please, I will be killed if I don't get these. Thanks
 
Is there anything in your DCIM folder? Use your file manager app and navigate to it. But I'm thinking if they're not showing up anymore they are gone...
 
yeah if they are not on the sd card.....not much you can do.

my note 8 is setup to always backup to google photos. this way i do not have to worry about loosing my pictures on my sd card.
 
Yeah, the guest account is by design intended to keep the original user's account completely separate from the guest account. If you did opt to remove the guest account when you switched back to your own account, the data was wiped away. Otherwise, if you did not remove it, those photos should still be there, accessible only when logged into the guest account.
