Recently Deleted App Store Listing in Simplified Chinese — 最近删除, 最近删除的项目 & recover deleted photos zh-Hans Copy
Your iOS or iPadOS app markets Photos Recently Deleted on the product page — under Photos → Albums → Recently Deleted, the 30-day trash album where buyers recover deleted photos and videos or permanently delete them, with gallery frames showing Recently Deleted, Recover, Delete All, and days-remaining countdown badges.
Open the same app on the China storefront and buyers still land on an English product page.
Title, subtitle, description, and screenshot overlays that read "Recently Deleted", "Recover deleted photos", "Permanently delete", or "30-day trash" in Latin script.
Shipping photo-recovery or trash-management UX in the binary does not auto-fill a Simplified Chinese (zh-Hans) localization row.
AppLocale writes paste-ready zh-Hans listing copy for those Connect fields — aligned with how your Recently Deleted gallery frames actually look, not Hidden album hide flows, Locked Folder vault marketing, or Clean Up object-removal demos.
Operator guidance only — no ranking guarantee, not legal advice, not investment advice. Seller: Fortune Insight, LLC.
Western indie iOS and iPadOS developers — US, UK, EU, Canada, Australia — who:
Ship or market a photo recovery, trash management, or library cleanup app whose buyers use Recently Deleted to recover accidentally deleted photos and videos within Apple's retention window or permanently remove them from the trash album
Market Recently Deleted, recover deleted photos, 30-day trash, permanently delete, empty Recently Deleted, or restore deleted items on the en-US product page and in screenshot galleries under Photos → Albums → Recently Deleted framing
Finished Recently Deleted–aware UX or photo-trash recovery flows in the binary — not looking for PhotoKit deletion plumbing, asset recovery API engineering, or Hidden album implementation help here
Enabled the China storefront but the zh-Hans product page still shows English copy or untranslated Recently Deleted badge lines on screenshots
Need paste-ready zh-Hans listing fields — not an engineer for trash-recovery APIs, not a designer to re-render trash-album screenshot PNGs, not Locked Folder or Clean Up marketing copy
Recently Deleted behavior vs zh-Hans listing copy — two different jobs
Teams assume Photos trash retention on device covers storefront language. PhotoKit, deletion flows, and Connect actually separate in-app trash behavior from product-page copy:
Recently Deleted album — Photos → Albums → Recently Deleted holds deleted photos and videos for a limited retention window before permanent removal. Controls runtime trash behavior — not App Store language. AppLocale does not perform this.
Recover deleted items — user-facing action to restore a photo or video from Recently Deleted back to the library. Listing copy may mention recover flows; implementing PHAsset recovery or trash queries is engineering work, not Connect metadata.
Permanently delete & empty trash — delete individual items from Recently Deleted or empty the entire album before the retention window expires. Product-page copy should describe that workflow; building permanent-delete APIs is in-app engineering.
30-day retention countdown — days-remaining badges on trash items. Gallery overlays should name the countdown in zh-Hans when your English frames show retention timers — not English-only "X days left" pasted through machine translation.
Hidden album (different surface) — hide photos from the library without Recently Deleted trash semantics. Related buyer vocabulary (隐藏相册, 隐藏的项目) but not the same product story — do not paste Hidden album copy onto Recently Deleted hero frames.
Locked Folder (different surface) — passcode-protected private photo vault behind Face ID or Touch ID. Mention only as contrast — not the Recently Deleted trash hero. See Locked Folder listing (zh-Hans).
Pricing and Availability → China — makes the app downloadable on the China App Store. Separate from language rows.
App Store tab → Chinese (Simplified) localization — independent row for title, subtitle, keywords, description, promotional text, screenshots, and caption lines. Empty or English here means China buyers see English fallback regardless of Recently Deleted support in the binary.
Working Recently Deleted integration and a localized China listing are both required when you sell on the China storefront — neither replaces the other. AppLocale covers how you describe Recently Deleted, recover deleted photos, and 最近删除 value on the product page in zh-Hans, not how you wire trash-recovery APIs in code.
Recently Deleted listing copy vs Hidden album vs Locked Folder vs Clean Up vs Duplicates
Photos-themed apps blur several shop guides indie teams conflate. AppLocale covers listing metadata only — Recently Deleted trash-album and photo-recovery marketing on the product page:
Recently Deleted & trash recovery (this page) — Photos → Albums → Recently Deleted: recover deleted photos and videos within the retention window, permanently delete items, empty Recently Deleted, and gallery frames with 最近删除, 最近删除的项目, 恢复已删除的照片, 永久删除, and 清空最近删除 vocabulary.
Hidden album (different) — hide photos from the library without Recently Deleted trash-album semantics; 隐藏相册 and 隐藏的项目 are related search vocabulary but a separate surface. Do not make Hidden album the hero when your English gallery centers Recently Deleted recovery.
Locked Folder (different) — passcode-protected private photos behind Face ID or Touch ID. Covered on our Locked Folder guide — 锁定相簿 vault privacy, not trash recovery.
Clean Up object removal (different) — tap-to-erase photobombers and clutter from inside photos. Covered on our Clean Up guide — object removal, not recover-deleted-photos workflows.
Duplicates merge (different) — merge duplicate photos and videos, 重复项目, 重复照片. A separate Photos album surface — not the Recently Deleted trash hero unless your English listing explicitly compares duplicate cleanup with trash recovery.
Places album (different) — location-based photo albums, 地点相簿. Geographic organization — not trash recovery marketing on gallery frames.
Imports album (different) — photos imported from camera or SD card, 导入相簿, 从相机导入. Import-source organization — not Recently Deleted recover-or-delete flows.
Apple Photos photo library hub (different) — albums, Memories, Featured Photos, Shared Albums, iCloud Photos browsing. Covered on our Apple Photos & photo library guide — library organization, not trash-album recovery.
Your screenshots may show Recently Deleted beside a general album grid or a Hidden album toggle. Listing copy should name the correct surface per frame — a Recover button on Recently Deleted is not a Locked Folder Face ID unlock, not a Clean Up erase demo, and not a Duplicates merge sheet unless that is what the frame shows.
What China buyers see when zh-Hans Recently Deleted copy is missing
Photo-recovery and library-management purchasers browsing the China App Store evaluate trash-album trust in the first scroll. Common failure modes when only en-US is filled:
English title and subtitle — app name and tagline still Latin script while competitors show native Chinese Recently Deleted or 恢复已删除的照片 positioning
Untranslated trash badges on screenshots — overlay lines like "Recently Deleted", "Recover", "Permanently delete", "Delete All", or "30-day trash" remain English on zh-Hans gallery frames
Recovery value in English — description opens with US trash marketing ("Recover accidentally deleted photos within 30 days") that China readers skim past or misread
Keyword field still en-US — buyers search 最近删除, 恢复已删除的照片, 最近删除的项目, or 永久删除; an English-only keyword row misses China Search intent
Mixed page — Chinese description pasted once but screenshot captions and subtitle still English — reads unfinished next to localized competitors
Calling Recently Deleted "Hidden album" — machine translation that uses 隐藏相册 for trash-recovery frames when your gallery shows Recover and Permanently delete UI, not hide-from-library toggles — confusing buyers who expect 最近删除 vocabulary
Conflating trash with Clean Up erase — zh-Hans copy mentions 消除物体 when screenshots show recover-deleted-photos workflows — see Clean Up listing (zh-Hans)
Better zh-Hans listing copy helps recovery-aware buyers understand Recently Deleted value before install. It does not replace PhotoKit code, trash-recovery integration, or Apple's review decisions.
Recently Deleted–specific listing copy — what translates differently
Trash-album and photo-recovery listings use vocabulary general utility guides rarely cover. zh-Hans copy should reflect how Chinese App Store readers describe Apple's Recently Deleted feature — not a literal paste of US marketing:
Recently Deleted phrasing
US pages use "Recently Deleted", "Recover deleted photos", "Permanently delete", "Empty Recently Deleted", "30-day trash", or "Restore deleted items." Apple's Simplified Chinese Photos vocabulary often uses 最近删除 for the album name, 最近删除的项目 for deleted-item grids, 恢复已删除的照片 for recover-deleted-photos callouts, 永久删除 for permanent removal, and 清空最近删除 for empty-trash actions. AppLocale aligns phrasing with Apple's consumer-facing terms while keeping your app's voice — not inventing recovery capabilities your app does not support.
Recover vs permanently delete vs empty trash
Screenshot overlays differ by action — tap Recover on one item, Permanently delete on another, or Delete All to empty the album. Chinese buyers expect concise action labels on gallery frames: 恢复 for recover, 永久删除 for permanent delete, 全部删除 or 清空最近删除 for empty-trash marketing. Mixing English "Recover" with Chinese body copy on the same frame looks inconsistent.
Retention countdown vs static trash grid
Many Recently Deleted marketing screenshots show days-remaining badges on deleted items. zh-Hans caption lines should name the countdown the frame shows: 剩余 X 天 for days left, 30 天内可恢复 for recover-within-window marketing — not English "X days left" pasted through machine translation.
Do not conflate with Hidden album or Locked Folder
Recently Deleted is a trash album with recover-or-delete semantics. Hidden album hides items from the main library — different buyer promise. Locked Folder locks private media behind biometrics — not trash recovery. If your app supports multiple surfaces, scope each screenshot frame accurately.
Do not conflate with Clean Up or Duplicates
Clean Up removes unwanted objects from inside photos — see Clean Up listing (zh-Hans). Duplicates merge near-identical library items — a separate album workflow. Recently Deleted recovers or permanently removes deleted items from the trash album — different screenshot vocabulary on the same product page.
Subtitle and keyword packing
The 30-character subtitle and 100-character keyword field need trash-recovery search terms Chinese buyers type — see Simplified Chinese keywords & subtitle for field mechanics. Terms like 最近删除, 恢复已删除的照片, 最近删除的项目, and 永久删除 each signal different intent from Locked Folder vault keywords or Clean Up object-removal keywords.
English Recently Deleted phrases China buyers still see
Common en-US marketing lines that leak onto the China product page when zh-Hans caption fields are empty or copy-pasted from the US gallery:
Recently Deleted — Apple-branded trash album badge on iPhone or iPad screenshot overlays under Photos → Albums
Recover — short callout on gallery frames showing restore-deleted-item action sheets
Recover deleted photos — hero marketing line for photo-recovery and library-cleanup apps
Permanently delete — callout when the frame shows irreversible removal from Recently Deleted
Delete All — empty-trash marketing on trash-album management screenshots
30-day trash — retention-window marketing describing how long deleted items remain recoverable
Days remaining — countdown badge text on individual deleted items in marketing screenshots
Chinese iPhone and iPad buyers searching for 最近删除, 恢复已删除的照片, or 最近删除的项目 still land on English-only overlays — that reads as an incomplete localization pass, not a bilingual photo-recovery app.
Common mistakes on Recently Deleted zh-Hans listings
Assuming trash-recovery integration localizes automatically — Recently Deleted UX shipped; zh-Hans row never added or left blank
Only translating the description — subtitle, keywords, and screenshot caption lines still English
Reusing US Recently Deleted badges verbatim — Latin "Recover" and "Recently Deleted" badges on zh-Hans screenshots signal an unfinished localization
Conflating Recently Deleted with Hidden album — listing copy about 隐藏相册 when screenshots actually show trash recovery; Hidden album is hide-from-library, not 30-day trash
Conflating Recently Deleted with Locked Folder — vault marketing belongs on the Locked Folder guide, not trash-album recover frames
Conflating Recently Deleted with Clean Up — object-removal marketing belongs on the Clean Up guide, not recover-deleted-photos copy
Conflating Recently Deleted with Duplicates or Imports — merge-duplicate and camera-import album vocabulary belongs on separate Photos surfaces unless your English listing explicitly compares them
Translating the in-app Recently Deleted button label only — system Photos UI may show Chinese from iOS while the App Store product page stays English
Expecting AppLocale to implement PhotoKit trash APIs or design trash-album PNGs — deletion recovery APIs and screenshot asset production are outside listing rewrite
What good zh-Hans Recently Deleted listing copy looks like
Trash-album-centric listings name the recover-or-delete workflow in plain zh-Hans — not a word-for-word mirror of English brochure lines:
Subtitle — one clause on recover-deleted-photos or trash-management outcome; room for 最近删除 or 恢复已删除的照片 within 30 characters
Keywords — mix 最近删除, 恢复已删除的照片, 最近删除的项目, 永久删除, and category nouns; avoid English-only "Recently Deleted" stuffing — see Simplified Chinese keywords
Description — lead with the trash-recovery workflow; mention 30-day retention only when your English listing already claims it accurately
Screenshot overlays — short lines naming what the frame shows: 恢复已删除的照片, 永久删除, 最近删除的项目 — not "Recover" pasted through machine translation
Voice match — same 你/您 and punctuation habits as your other zh-Hans fields
Honest scope — if your app helps users manage Recently Deleted but does not extend Apple's retention window, zh-Hans copy should not imply permanent cloud backup of deleted items unless your English listing already claims it accurately
zh-Hans Recently Deleted captions can differ idiomatically from en-US overlays when the on-screen feature is the same — avoid mirroring comma-heavy English marketing onto iPhone or iPad art.
Connect checklist before you order Recently Deleted listing copy
Confirm China under Pricing and Availability — storefront enabled if you intend to sell there
Confirm Recently Deleted or trash-recovery features work in your build — note that we do not change PhotoKit deletion APIs, trash queries, or portal settings for you
Open App Store → Chinese (Simplified) — note whether the zh-Hans row exists and which text fields are empty vs English placeholder
Export English Recently Deleted marketing copy — current en-US title, subtitle, keywords, description, promotional text, and every screenshot overlay line ("Recently Deleted", "Recover", "Recover deleted photos", "Permanently delete", "Delete All", "30-day trash", days-remaining badges, and empty-trash frames)
Count screenshot frames — note how many iPhone (and iPad if universal) slots show Recently Deleted UI, trash-album grids, or recover-deleted-photos marketing
Separate listing from in-app UI — listing rewrite does not cover storyboard strings or trash-album tool labels inside the binary
Note which trash actions you market — recover single item, permanently delete, empty entire album, or retention countdown — so zh-Hans copy stays accurate to your English listing
Distinguish Recently Deleted from Hidden Locked Folder Clean Up or Duplicates frames — tag which overlay lines are trash recovery vs hide-from-library vs vault vs object removal vs duplicate merge so each caption gets accurate zh-Hans scope
Plan caption re-export if text is burned into PNGs — Connect caption fields help when overlays are editable; English baked into image files needs design rework outside AppLocale
For one Recently Deleted–marketing app on the zh-Hans row, paste-ready Simplified Chinese copy for the listing fields you specify:
Title (name) — zh-Hans app name within Connect character limits
Subtitle — Recently Deleted or recover-deleted-photos phrasing within the ~30-character cap
Keywords — comma-separated zh-Hans search terms with rationale notes (最近删除, 恢复已删除的照片, 最近删除的项目, 永久删除 where relevant)
Description — buyer-readable body copy aligned with your English Recently Deleted listing meaning
Promotional text — when you include the 170-character promo field in scope
Screenshot overlay / caption lines — zh-Hans replacements for "Recently Deleted", "Recover", "Recover deleted photos", "Permanently delete", 最近删除, 最近删除的项目, 恢复已删除的照片, 永久删除, 清空最近删除, and similar frame text
English alignment — matching en-US field notes when both storefronts must stay consistent on trash-recovery promises
24-hour turnaround — delivered to the email on your Stripe receipt after checkout and intake
Human rewrite from your current English Recently Deleted marketing listing — not a machine translation dump. Default $79 scope is Connect listing metadata; bundle IAP display names or promotional-only passes via the AppLocale product page if needed.
What AppLocale does not do
Does not implement Recently Deleted, PhotoKit trash recovery, or permanent-delete flows in Swift
Does not wire asset deletion APIs, trash-album queries, or recover-item pipelines in app code
Does not generate, design, or re-export screenshot PNGs or trash-album sample photos
Does not write Hidden album, Locked Folder, Clean Up, Duplicates, Places, or Imports listing copy as the hero — separate Photos album surfaces outside Recently Deleted scope
Does not build Memories, Featured Photos, Shared Albums, or iCloud Photos listing copy — see separate shop guides for those scopes
Does not localize the app binary or in-app UI strings, storyboards, or Xcode string catalogs
Does not manage Apple Search Ads, ad campaigns, or monetization strategy
Does not guarantee App Store rankings, trash-recovery adoption, or download growth in China
Does not operate review-reply retainers or respond to App Store reviews on your behalf
Does not click Save or Submit in App Store Connect for you
Is not QuantRadar, not paid ads management, and not investment or legal advice
Does not invent reviews, ratings, or traffic numbers
How it works
Confirm scope — Recently Deleted–themed app with en-US listing done; identify which zh-Hans fields and screenshot caption lines are still English
Send intake — reply from the email on your Stripe receipt with your App Store listing URL, English Recently Deleted listing copy (all fields and caption lines), which trash surfaces your gallery shows, screenshot frame count, and target locale (zh-Hans)
Receive files — within 24 hours, paste-ready zh-Hans listing fields arrive at your Stripe receipt email
Paste and submit — fill the zh-Hans row in Connect, enter caption lines per screenshot slot, save, and submit the version for review. Success page: AppLocale thanks.
Does shipping Recently Deleted or trash-recovery support auto-fill my China App Store listing?
No. Recently Deleted retention, recover-item flows, and permanent-delete actions control runtime library behavior — they do not create or fill a Simplified Chinese localization row. Empty or English zh-Hans fields mean China buyers see en-US fallback.
Which App Store Connect fields does AppLocale rewrite for Recently Deleted apps?
Paste-ready Simplified Chinese (zh-Hans) copy for App Store Connect listing fields you specify: title, subtitle, keywords, description, promotional text when included, and screenshot overlay or caption lines — rewritten from your English Recently Deleted marketing originals.
Can AppLocale implement PhotoKit trash recovery or Recently Deleted APIs?
No. We deliver listing metadata copy only. Trash-recovery engineering, PhotoKit deletion wiring, and trash-album screenshot asset design are outside AppLocale scope.
How is this different from Hidden album, Locked Folder, and Clean Up pages?
Hidden album copy covers hide-from-library surfaces — 隐藏相册. Locked Folder copy covers passcode-protected vaults — 锁定相簿. Clean Up copy covers tap-to-erase object removal — 清理照片. This page is Recently Deleted as the product-page theme: the 30-day trash album where deleted photos and videos can be recovered or permanently deleted — 最近删除, 最近删除的项目, 恢复已删除的照片.
Why do screenshot captions still say Recover in English on China?
Caption and overlay fields are managed per localization. If you filled en-US screenshot text but never saved zh-Hans caption lines — or uploaded the same English-overlay PNGs to the Chinese set — China buyers see Latin Recently Deleted badges on the product page.
Should zh-Hans copy use 最近删除 or 恢复已删除的照片?
Each appears in Chinese storefront and search contexts. AppLocale picks phrasing that matches your English listing claims and screenshot overlays — 最近删除 for the album name, 最近删除的项目 for deleted-item grids, 恢复已删除的照片 for recover callouts — without inventing capabilities your app does not support.
What do I send after AppLocale payment?
Your live App Store listing URL, current English Recently Deleted marketing listing (title, subtitle, keywords, description, promo if used, all screenshot caption lines), screenshot frame counts, and target locale (zh-Hans). Reply from the email address on your Stripe receipt — we deliver to that Stripe email within 24 hours.
Will localized Recently Deleted listing copy improve Search ranking in China?
We do not guarantee keyword position, chart rank, or install growth. Complete zh-Hans metadata helps recovery-aware buyers who already found your page understand trash-album benefits in their language.
How much does AppLocale cost?
$79 one-time via Stripe checkout. No subscription. Seller is Fortune Insight, LLC.
What is AppLocale not?
Not PhotoKit Recently Deleted or trash-recovery engineering, not Hidden album or Locked Folder hero listing copy, not Clean Up Duplicates Places or Imports listing copy, not Memories Featured Photos Shared Album iCloud Photos or Journal listing copy, not screenshot design or trash-album photo re-export, not binary or in-app localization, not ads management, not ranking guarantees, not review-reply retainers, not QuantRadar, and not investment or legal advice. We do not invent reviews, ratings, or traffic numbers.
