<p>Hopefully you didn't have a significant amount of bitcoins on that wallet.  Check if you had auto backups to a cloud service (Google Photos/Dropbox/iCloud).  If not rather than asking here, look into how to restore data from a mobile phone. It may be possible, I recommend not playing with your phone until you know how you will proceed.  Alternatively, there are professional services that may have better luck.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

Does the wallet that produced the seed still work, or are you looking for the seed in order to restore the wallet?

You could also try file recovery software on your phone to see if the image is still there. What software did you use to create the seed?
