I. Introduction
As iPhone users, we have all been there – accidentally deleting important messages from our conversations with friends and family. Fortunately, retrieving deleted messages on an iPhone is not impossible. In this article, we offer a comprehensive step-by-step guide on the different methods you can use to check deleted messages on your iPhone.
II. Step-by-Step Guide to Recovering Deleted Messages on Your iPhone
The easiest way to recover deleted messages on your iPhone is through the “Recently Deleted” folder on the iPhone’s Messages app, which stores deleted messages for up to 30 days. To access the folder, open the Messages app and tap on the “Edit” button on the top left corner. Select the messages you wish to recover, and then click on the “Recover” option. The messages will be restored to your device.
III. Installing a Third-Party Data Recovery App to Retrieve Deleted Messages from Your iPhone
Third-party data recovery apps offer the added benefit of being able to recover messages that have been deleted beyond the 30-day limit of the “Recently Deleted” folder. Notable apps include Dr.Fone, PhoneRescue, and Tenorshare iPhone Data Recovery. Simply download and install the app on your device, connect your iPhone to your computer, and follow the prompts to recover deleted messages.
IV. Restoring Deleted Messages from an iPhone Backup in iCloud or iTunes
You can also retrieve deleted messages by restoring your iPhone from a backup in iCloud or iTunes. Connect your device to your computer and open iTunes. Select your iPhone from the “Devices” list, and click on the “Restore Backup” option. Choose the relevant backup file and select “Restore.” This will restore your device to the state it was in when the backup was made, which includes the lost messages.
V. Accessing Deleted Messages from the “Recently Deleted” Folder in the iPhone’s Messages App
To view deleted messages from the “Recently Deleted” folder, open the Messages app and tap on the “Edit” button on the top left corner. Select the messages you wish to view, and then click on the “Undelete” option. The messages will be restored and can be accessed in their original conversations.
VI. Recovering Deleted Messages by Syncing Your iPhone with a Computer and Using a Data Recovery Tool
This method involves using a data recovery tool like EaseUS MobiSaver, which can retrieve deleted messages by syncing your iPhone with your computer. First, install and run the tool on your computer, and then connect your iPhone to the computer. Follow the prompts to scan and retrieve the deleted messages from your device.
VII. Using iCloud.com to Retrieve Deleted Messages from an iPhone Connected to iCloud
You can also use iCloud.com to retrieve deleted messages if your iPhone is connected to iCloud. Simply log in to the website and click on the “Settings” option. Select “Restore Files,” choose the backup where the lost messages were saved, and follow the prompts to restore them to your device.
VIII. Exploring the Assistance of the Apple Support Center to Retrieve Deleted Messages on Your iPhone
If you have exhausted all the options above, you can seek assistance from the Apple Support Center to recover your deleted messages. Contact them online via their website or through their support hotline. Be prepared with your device information and other relevant details.
