AC Question
Abnormal factory reset
My phone had ran out of space for a while now, and I've been struggling for it to work well. Suddenly, while I was out in band camp, I check my phone and it has a caution sign, a triangle with an exclamation point. I ignore it and return to my activities. Later, when I was required to use my phone, it brought me to the setup wizard. I decided to fix this at home, since the WiFi at school is very finicky. When I got home, I ran through the setup, and what do you know, EVERYTHING is gone. The thing that really got me is all the pictures I had taken within the last 4 months. My band trip to Disney, my junior prom, my trip to Hong Kong and Japan, all gone. While most of the things I had there were replaceable, those pictures weren't.
I know there was a way to avoid losing those photos, like posting them or using an SD card, but I'm not a posting kind of person and I didn't have an SD card nor have much time to shove photos into one. I know it's most likely too late to recover those pictures, but I want to know what caused the reset and how to prevent it.
TL;DR Teen boy lost sentimental pictures to abnormal reset, please help diagnose
