Hi, I feel your pain.
When my ex was arrested they took the family pc, kids ipads and gaming consoles and external hard drives which had All our family photos on.
I was told they would be returned after but not sure what stage exactly. (as long as no images are found on that specific device).
I will be chasing up again once it goes to cps (although I imagine they may want to keep still incase cps want further info from devices?)
Over 12 months in and sign of return yet

What the police seize seems to be really inconsistent, as there's post on here of everything in the house being seized regardless of who it belongs to and then in others relatively few devices are seized.
In our case they took my OH phone, ipad, laptop, another laptop that was given to him by his dad but was never used, the shared PC and various external drives and memory sticks.
But they didnt take the games console and also left several memory sticks and an external drive. There was also a laptop and kindle which belong to me which I know they found as they had definitely been in the the drawer they were kept in but they never even asked who they belonged to.
