Do I have any options here? My plan is to:

acquire friend's phone with ios 10
back it up
download old backup to friend's phone
send photos to myself
download friend's backup back onto his phone

yall think this will work?

If the data is still there in the old backup, it should unless they pulled the app from the store and you cant get the app.

it's not on the app store anymore... ugh

ETA: i read somewhere that if the app was synced from your phone to your computer, it can be redownloaded despite being removed from the store. i remember doing it with flappybird

Your backup would have to be the same iOS version that the phone is currently on.
