how do i recover my photos from 2016 and 2017 from samsung phone

Solution
Depends. Is the phone working? If so, you should be able to just connect it to a computer and move the files. If the phone isn't working, however, then there is no way to get them without repairing it first.

Also, if they are on a device that is working and if they were recently deleted you 'may' have some luck getting them back. However if they were deleted a while ago, they are not going to be recoverable.

While there is no guaranty that you can get them back. Deleted does mean deleted. There are a few apps/programs out there that 'may' be able to help you recover the data.

A few of the programs you could try would be... DiskDigger, MobiSaver, Android-Recovery and Tenorshare. They are all data recovery apps/programs. There are...

There are many others out there, so check around and see which you would rather try. There is also one called RECUVA, that I have heard is free, which you could try.

One important note though, most of these programs are not free. They may say they are "free" or have "Free Trials" and "Free Downloads". Yet to actually recover your data, and get your files back, you may be have to purchase the program/app. Just so you know.

NOTE: For future reference, I really would suggest backing up your data to a computer or cloud. Often. Better to spend the time doing that, rather than to be out all that stuff if the phone dies, things get deleted/erased or it gets stolen.
