How can I retrieve deleted text messages from my iphone 5

Somebody deleted a string of text messages from my iPhone 5 and I want to know if they can be retrieved and if so how? I'm new to the iPhone as this is my first apple product.  I am still not even sure on how to use my iTunes and so forth.  Please help as the string of messages was very important!! Thank you so very much!! Tracy

SMS text messages are backed up with the iPhone - whether it's locally or to iCloud. If you've already written over the backup that had them (as in, backed up after the delete) then they're gone.
If you still have a backup available from a time where you had the messages on your iPhone, all you have to do is erase the iPhone and restore from that backup.
"Retrieve deleted messages from iPhone" is simple as pie.

    I deleted some of my text messages and now I need them back.

    Did you back up the phone before deleting the messages?  If so, restore the backup.  If not, they're gone. 
    Don't trust web sites that claim to have software that recovers without a backup - they are scams and identity theft sites.

  • How can I receive a text message from an iPhone to my iPad instead of my android phone?

    my friend has an iphone6 plus, I have an iPad Air.  I cannot receive messages from his iPhone to my iPad but he can send to my android phone. I do receive iMessages from other iphone 5 and 6plus users to my iPad.

    If you are sending an iMessage rather than an SMS (normal text message) it uses your Data Plan not your Text Message allowance.

    Correct.
    The Blue iMessages use your Internet connection.
    If you are away from a Wifi network it will use your Cellular Data Plan for the internet connection.
    The Green Ones use your Text Messaging service.
    Again If they have set up iMessages on their iPhones it will be sent through the internet.
    All other Phones and iPhones that don't have iMessage set up, will use your Text Message Allowance known as SMS.

    I have deleted - accidentally - a history of text messages on my 3GS iPhone. Is it possible to retrieve them?

    Yes, you can restore the iPhone with the iCloud's backup or your computer backup.

  • HT4623 how can I transferr my text messages from my iphone 4 to my iphone 5 on itunes

    I have just purchased a new iphone 5 and I need to transferr my text messages to my laptop to store these records. Can I do this through Itunes?

    Here's the iPhone User Manual:
    iPhone User Guide (For iOS 6.1 Software)Jan 28, 2013 - 14 MB
    Sync your iPhone 4 using iTunes (which presumably you have been doing ever since you got the iPhone 4).  Then turn on your iPhone 5, and one of the options you will see after setting up a network connection is whether to set up as a new device or restore using a previous iPhone.  Follow the directions.

  • Is there any way to retrieve deleted texts messages from the IPhone 5C?

    I accidentally deleted the wrong texts, and was wondering if there was a way Verizon, or the IPhone could recover the deleted messages...

    Unfortunately, no, not unless you had them backed up somewhere (like with bitpim software).  Once the texts are deleted from the phone, they're gone.

  • How can I delete text messages from my iphone?

    Hello everyone,
    How can I delete text messages from my iphone?  I do not want to reset my iphone setting. If it is nesscary to reset my iphone setting, will I lose everything?
    Please let me know,
    Thanks,

    Just delete them. Or, do you mean beyond just deleting them? Then, you'd need to wipe the phone - select Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. That's a secure wipe of the iPhone contents, takes several hours (connect to AC power). You'll need to set your phone up from scratch (and erase the old backup(s) from your computer, since your SMS history is part of the backup).

  • HT3529 can you retrieve deleted text messages

    Is there a way to recover deleted text messages

    (I know this is a somewhat old thread, but someone may stumble on it if they're in a similar situation!)
    It really all depends, unfortunately. When the messages are deleted, the database storing them marks it as "deleted" but doesn't actually destroy the information fully. Eventually the database will recompact the space, rearrange, and reuse, but until then the message could be found.
    With that said, from my own experience, sometimes the much older messages are the ones that happen to stick around, and the newer ones get overwritten first. It all just depends on how the space in the file gets compacted and reused I'd say it's worth a try to look.
    I am the main developer for Decipher TextMessage, which has a feature to recover deleted text messages from the iPhone backup files. The nice thing is that the software will scan for your iTunes backups of your phones (perhaps finding the message in an older backup before it was deleted!), show you all of the regular not-deleted messages, and then you can press the recover button to look for deleted information. I usually recommend running the program once to see what older information you have (always better to get the original not-deleted version when possible) and then make a new backup and run Decipher TextMessage again.
    I hope this helps someone out! If you want to send us some more questions directly, you can do so from our website http://deciphertools.com
