Method #1: Use your iCloud backup to recover deleted text messages.
Important Note: Attention ️ This method requires restoring your iPhone to its factory settings. If this seems too complicated for you, we recommend checking out the other solutions later in this video.
Steps to recover:
1. Open the Settings app.
2. Go to General and choose Reset option.
3. Tap Erase all content and settings and confirm your choice by clicking Erase now button.
4. Follow the instructions on your phone until the Apps & data page appears.
5. Choose Restore from iCloud Backup.
6. Sign in to iCloud.
7. Choose the most recent backup containing deleted text messages from the list of available iCloud backups.
8. Wait for the recovery process to complete.
Method #2: Selectively Recover Deleted Text Messages from Backup.
In some territories, text messages are selectively backed up to iCloud, as are photos and calendar appointments. iPhone users in supported territories can read text messages from any device by signing in to icloud.com.
If you are one of the lucky ones, you should do the following:
1. Open the Settings app.
2. Tap your name and select iCloud.
3. Turn off text messages and select Keep on my iPhone.
4. Re-enable text messages and select the Merge option.
5. Wait for the deleted text messages to download to your iPhone.
Solution #3: Recover deleted text messages from a Finder backup (macOS Catalina or later).
Hope you backup your iPhone to your computer regularly. If so, now you can recover all deleted text messages using iTunes.
So, the steps are:
1. Connect your iPhone to your Mac.
2. Launch Finder and select your iPhone under Locations.
3. Click the Restore Backup button on the General tab.
4. Choose the most relevant backup.
5. Enter your password if prompted and click Restore.
Method #4: Use data recovery software to recover deleted text messages on iPhone.
Chances are you don't have a backup. But don't worry, there's a good chance you can still collect them, but only if you don't hesitate too much. A data recovery app like Disk Drill for Mac can search for deleted and lost text messages on your iPhone and recover them for you in just a few clicks.
So, the steps are:
1. Download and install Disk Drill from the official website https://www.cleverfiles.com.
2. Connect your iPhone to your Mac.
3. Launch Disk Drill and initiate a free scan by clicking the Recover button next to your iPhone.
4. Browse and preview deleted and existing text messages.
5. Select the ones you want to restore.
6. Click the Recover button and recover your texts.
Method #5: Contact your carrier and ask for help.
Some carriers (but certainly not most) allow their customers to recover deleted texts through online account management portals.
