Hi guys, welcome back to AppGeeker channel.
In today’s video, we’re going to talk about something pretty helpful, something
that every iPhone user should know.
So, let’s say that you’ve removed some text messages on your iPhone to free up some
storage space, but accidentally deleted some important messages, don’t worry.
There’s still a good chance that you can get them recovered.
And in this video, we’re gonna show you some of the easiest ways to recover the deleted
messages on your iPhone.
Let’s see how.
So, if you’ve got your iPhone messages deleted accidentally, the first place you should check
is the Recently Deleted folder on your device.
It’s a new feature that comes with iOS 16 and the later versions of iOS.
So if your iPhone system has been upgraded to iOS 16 or above, your device will remind
you that the deleted messages will be moved to Recently Deleted folder after deletion.
You can find and recover the deleted conversations by filtering to the Recently Deleted folder
before they get completely deleted after 30 days.
So, when you’ve deleted a message on your iPhone inadvertently, just keep calm.
You can open the Messages app, and then at the top left, tap the Filters and go to the
Recently Deleted folder.
Here, you can find all the text messages that you’ve deleted within the past 30 days.
Now, you can select the messages that you want to get back, and then tap on the Recover
option.
When you do, the deleted conversations will be recovered to their previous place in your
message list.
And you won’t lose any important text message on your iPhone.
So, what if you’ve cleared up the Recently Deleted folder?
Or you don’t have the iOS 16 or newer version of iOS?
Well, in that case, you can still retrieve your deleted texts using an iCloud Backup.
If you happened to back up your iPhone to your iCloud before deleting the texts, then
you should be able to recover the deleted messages by restoring your iPhone from the
latest iCloud backup.
If you’re not sure whether you have a recent iCloud backup available, just open the Settings
app, and tap on your Apple ID, then select iCloud.
From here, you can see the Manage Storage option, tap on it, and check the Backups.
If you’ve backed up your iPhone recently, you will see a list of backups.
If there’s no iCloud backup available for your data recovery, you can check our next
method, the iOS Data Recovery app, which doesn’t require any iCloud backup of your iPhone.
So, if you do have an iCloud backup useful, you can now reset your iPhone to factory settings,
and then set it up again.
This way, you can recover your deleted messages by restoring all your iPhone data you’re
your iCloud backup.
However, keep in mind that you’ll lose the data created after your last backup.
So, make sure the deleted messages are important enough to you.
Alright, to restore the deleted iPhone messages, we’re gonna reset the iPhone first.
On your phone, open Settings, and then go to the General, then Transfer or Reset iPhone.
From the two options at the bottom, make sure you select Erase All Content and Settings.
You may need to enter your Apple ID and the password to log out.
And then your iPhone will erase everything and restart.
Once the Hello screen shows up, it’s your time to go through the setup process on your
iPhone.
Remember, when the Apps and data screen appears, you’re gonna select the option to Restore
from iCloud Backup, and choose the latest iCloud backup to retrieve your content and
settings.
Once done, the deleted text messages will be recovered to your iPhone automatically.
And like I said, if you don’t have an iCloud backup that can help you in recovering your
iPhone messages, or your iPhone isn’t running the iOS 16 or later, then this iOS Data Recovery
tool is worth a try.
It’s very easy to use, you only need to connect your iPhone to your Mac or Windows,
and then scan for the deleted and lost messages on your device.
And the best thing is that you can recover not only the text messages, but also your
iPhone photos, notes, call logs and more.
So firstly, install the iOS Data Recovery on your computer.
It’s compatible with both Windows and macOS, and I’ll drop the download link below this
video, make sure you click it to check all its helpful features.
Alright, when you launch the app, just connect your device using an appropriate USB cable.
Let your iPhone trust your computer so the program is allowed to scan the deleted messages
on your phone.
Then, on this main interface, select Recover from iOS device.
It’s also capable of recovering data on an iPad, or restoring data from iCloud, depending
on what you need.
Alright, unlike the method 2, this iOS Data Recovery tool won’t ask you to reset your
iPhone, which means you don’t have to erase all your current data.
The only thing you need to do is click on the Start Scan option, and wait for it to
find the deleted messages as well as other recoverable data on your iPhone.
It usually takes a couple of minutes.
When the scanned results appear on the screen, you’re able to preview the conversations
you want by selecting Messages and Messages Attachments from the Message and Contacts
section on the left side.
You can select whatever you want, and then hit the Recover button at the bottom to get
everything back.
Here should come up a message box, letting you select a recovery location where you want
your iPhone messages to be saved.
And then, hit the Recover button again, and all these selected text messages will be recovered
on your iPhone within a few seconds.
It’s perhaps the easiest and quickest way to recover the lost and deleted data on an
iPhone or iPad.
