How do I restore my deleted text messages from the iCloud?

Is there any way to restore text messages that have accidentally been deleted?

You would have to restore from a backup made while your messages were still on your phone (described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766).  This will revert all data and settings to those contained in the backup, not just messages.  Before doing this be sure to import all photos and videos to your computer (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083) and back up your contacts (such as by syncing them with iCloud: Settings>iCloud>Contacts>On) as sometimes these get lost when restoring from a backup.

  • HT4859 how do I restore deleted text messages from an iCloud backup?

    I mistakenly deleted an important text conversation - swiping and deleting the wrong conversation.   My iphone is backed up to icloud, but not on my conputer.  Are there steps I can take to restore the deleted text messages from the icloud backup?  If so what are they and where will I find the restored messages after the process?   Any help would be very much appreciated.

    Hi again - thank you very much for the feedback.  It is actually a conversation over 3 days that is quite important so if I can recover it, I would like to.  
    As for the actual process, the most recent back up was prior to my deletion.   Three last questions (I hope...):
    1) How will I know what I need to redownload from itunes?
    2) Is this link the best in terms of the literal steps to take to do the restore:

    3) Is there anything I should do to the phone before I begin the restore process?
    Again, thank you for your time - very much appreciate the expert advice.

  • How do I recover a deleted text message if the phone has never been backed up/synced

    How do I recover a deleted text message if the phone has never been backed up/synced.  Yes, I know, I know I should be backing up/syncing my phone . . . but that hasn't been yet.  So, can I still find the deleted text message?  If I sync for the first time will it also sync deleted messages?

    Asking exactly the same question a second time will NOT get you a different answer.
    You can not recover that which has been deleted and was never backed up.

    How can I retrieve my deleted text messages from my iPhone 5s?  I don't sync to a computer, only to iCloud.  My last backup was 2/19/14.

    Unless you had them backed up somewhere, I'm afraid they are gone.

  • How do I restore a deleted iPhone calendar from my iCloud backup?

    How do I restore a deleted iPhone calendar from my iCloud backup?

    You can only restore the complete iPhone from a backup; you cannot restore selectively.
    To restore an iCloud backup  first go to settings/iCloud and turn off Find my iPhone, then connect the phone to a power source and within range of an WiFi connection, go to Settings/General/Reset - Erase all content and settings. When the reset completes you will be given the option to restore a backup.

  • How can I read non-deleted text messages from months ago without having to continuously press "Load Earlier Messages"?

    I never deleted text messages from a specific person in case I ever wanted to go back and look at them. Now months have gone by and I don't feel like continuously pressing "Load Earlier Messages" for hours trying to get back and look at them. Is there anyway I can upload the whole conversation on to my computer and read the entire conversation from the beginning?

    Yes.
    I use iBackupBot.

  • How can I get rec'd text messages from the same subscriber not be appended

    Hi,
    Is there a way to configure the Apple iphone so that text messages from the same subscriber are displayed separately rather than appended to each other? In this way accidentally deleting one message wouldn't delete the entire history of messages from this subscriber.
    When I launch the SMS service by pressing the green SMS button I am met by a screen that says Text Messages. On the left of this there is a button that says Edit and on the right there is one that is for writing a new message. Down the page are my messages all grouped by the originator of each messages. If I choose one I see that all messages from this source are present appended one after the other. There is also the option now to Clear on the top right hand corner. It is this Clear option I am worried about. If I choose Clear I am asked for a confirmation and then lo and behold as expected all my messages from this subscriber are deleted.
    This is a work phone for support purposes and most of the texts will be from the telephone operator (i.e. the one same number) saying we have an email waiting to be read with a subject title giving a little description. I want to be in a position so that I don't accidentally delete the entire history of messages, say some evening when I'm tired or Monday morning if I 'm a bit asleep. Ideally I would prefer that each text message would stand alone in the Text Messages window irrespective of the originator and not be appended in a group fashion. Is there a way to do this?
    Kind regards,
    M

    There is no way to do that on the iPhone. Messages will always be grouped into a 'conversation' based on the sender/recipient. Only Apple can change that behavior.
    You can submit feedback to Apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html.

  • Is there any way to delete text messages from the external screen of an LG EnV3?

    The internal screen of my phone doesn't work, so I've been texting from the external key pad. But my inbox has gotten full and I can't receive texts anymore. Is there any way to delete texts using only the external screen of the EnV3?

    It was awhile ago and I'm not totally sure, but I think this was discussed and the conclusion was that you can't delete texts using the external screen of the Env3. **Edit  (Found one thread: http://community.vzw.com/t5/Messaging-Text-Picture-IM-etc/No-option-to-delete-text-messages-from-front-of-LG-enV3/m-p/43042#M1684 )  It came up in one other thread that I could find and the solution was to use the internal, and similar steps were given - the only difference was using the OK for Menu and #2 for Messages, rather than the left soft key for Messages.  vWhatever works... 
    What you CAN do, is open the flip, left soft key (which is the Messages menu), and there are several options - these are the text messaging ones -
    1. New Message
    2. Inbox (#)
    3. Sent (#)
    4 Drafts (#)
    Press the right soft key (options) and your choices are:
    1.Erase Inbox
    2.Erase Sent
    3.Erase Drafts
    4.Erase All
    If you choose Erase All, then OK - it will erase all except unread messages, and locked messages. If you choose any of the numbers, then hit OK, it will erase ALL in that category, read or not, so I would choose Option 4 to erase all but the unread.
    HTH, and post back if you have further questions...

  • How can i find my deleted text messages on the iphone4

    My ex boyfriend figured out a way to get all my deleted messages from the last month and i want to know how i can block him from doing this again?

    Also, if the messages used Apple's iMessage, then any other device logged in using the same Apple ID and password would still have those messages regardless of whether you deleted them on your iPhone.

  • HT4859 can i extract text messages from the icloud on my computer?

    I have damaged my iphone & am needing to view text messages.  The phone has been backed up to icloud.  Is there anyway to log in & retrieve text messages on my pc?

    You can't hide it AFAIK on AppleTV - do it via iTunes.
    In iTunes elect the store home page, and choose Purchases in teh QuickLinks on the right.
    Choose TV Shows and hover over the one to hide and there should be a small x to hide it.
    If you need it back go into your actual account settings in iTunes and choose to unhide there.

  • 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 do I retrieve and view text messages from icloud

    How can I view and retrieve text messages from my ICloud?

    Apple provides functionality in the backup done via iTunes to backup the device and text messages.  There is no functionality to view the text messages on the computer.
    About iOS backups
    Other programs are available which can extract text messages from the device or the iTunes created backup and then be viewed on the computer.  To my knowledge, no program exists which can force backed up text messages into the device once they've been removed.
    Google is your friend when looking for 3rd party software related to text messages.
