Accidentally deleted iMessages with your Dad, Mom, or Friends in your iPhone Messages app?
You're not alone. You still have the chance to get the whole iMessage conversation back
and also recover the attachments you sent like photos, links, audio, documents,etc..
Okay now, let's pretend to accidentally delete all these iMessages, including your group
chat. Next, I'll show you how to recover deleted
iMessages on iPhone. Now, quit all running apps and start recovering
the iMessages history.
First, check if you've turned on iMessages syncing across all your devices.
Go to Settings, tap your name, and tap iCloud. If the Messages toggle is green, you can recover
iMessages on your iPhone by directly downloading them from iCloud.
To do that, turn off the Messages switch, and choose Disable and download from iCloud.
Wait for a few seconds, go to Messages app and you should get back deleted or lost iMessages
conversations now. Try again if you can't retrieve them back
at once.
Don't worry if the Messages toggle is off. Your next step is to check if you've backed
up iMessages before deleting them. Still in iCloud, tap Manage Storage, tap backup.
If there's an iCloud backup that's made earlier than when chats were deleted,
you can restore deleted iMessages on iPhone from iCloud backup.
Be mindful that you'll need to restore your device to its factory settings to get back
the iMessages.
If you're fine with that, now head to Settings app, tap General,
scroll all the way down and tap Reset, choose Erase All Content and Settings and tap Erase
now. After the reset, quickly set up your iPhone
and when you're in Apps & Data screen, choose Restore from iCloud Backup.
Log in with your Apple ID. Choose an iCloud backup that contains the
iMessages conversations you've deleted or lost.
In other words, select the backup with the date before you delete the texts.
You can also restore the one that's deleted weeks ago or months or years ago if there's
an older backup available. Complete the following steps and now the iMessages
conversation history and attachments should reappear on your iPhone.
Before you deleted an iMessage, maybe there's no time for you to back it up.
That's exactly where iOS Data Recovery comes into play,
providing you an efficient way to retrieve deleted iMessages on iPhone without any backup.
It'll safely scan the device after connecting, find the deleted iMessages chats along with
the attachment and then pull them out.
One more bonus feature is that if you have trouble restoring iMessages from iCloud backup
or iTunes backup, it helps easily extract the backup, lists
the backed-up conversation including the texts and attachments,
and gives you the option to select the one you deleted to restore.
And you don't have to reset the device or overwrite the current data.
