There are three ways to recover deleted text messages on your iPhone 11/11 PRO/XS/XR/X/8/7/6s/6/SE/5s/5/4 : using iCloud, iTunes or a third party application. All three methods will be shown in this text.
When you periodically clean your iPhone, you will delete older messages. But, it may happen that you need some of the messages that have been deleted. What to do then? First of all, stay calm and read the following text. We explain ways to recover deleted messages from iPhone. In fact, the most important thing is to recover them from the backup - for which we recommend iTunes. At worst, you will need to use a third party application.
If you have already backed up your iPhone to iCloud or iTunes, you can recover all messages deleted from the backup - of course, only the ones that were on your phone when you created it will be there. Keep in mind that some things have changed and Messages have been in iCloud for some time. You can start syncing between all devices that use the same Apple ID. However, synchronization means that messages from each of them will be deleted. Therefore, the only way to recover messages via iCloud is to completely wipe the iPhone and retrieve a copy previously saved in the cloud.
So remember to make regular backups. Your settings can be found in Settings -> owner name -> iCloud -> Manage Storage -> Backups. When making a backup, you must perform a factory reset before restoring the backup created in iCloud. Note that backups are marked with time and date - you can choose the most appropriate one.
When the above method did not work, you have two other options. The first is an attempt to recover deleted messages via iTunes . Sometimes it is a faster and better way than others. If syncing with iTunes is not disabled, a backup will be created whenever you sync your iPhone with a PC or Mac. To use this method:
The backup data will replace the data on the phone. This may take a few minutes. If during the backup there are messages in the phone memory that you deleted after completing - they will return to the phone.
If the two methods above are not successful, it is time to turn to specialized applications. There are several applications available on the network that allow you to recover deleted messages on the iPhone . The best are:
Below you can see the recovery step by step using EaseUS MobiSaver and PhoneRescue
