How do you retrieve accidentally deleted text messages?

I accidentally deleted a text message stream. How do I retrieve them?

Deleted messages are not recoverable on the iPhone itself.
But it is fairly easy to recover them as follows:
Connect the iPhone to iTunes in the computer, make sure that in Summary Page  "Backup to this computer" is checked, then do Manual Backup.
Since the deleted messages are still on the iPhone, the deleted messages are also in the Backup.
Download a third party app called "Data Recovery for iPhone", and use this app to get the deleted messages, it will find the backup on your computer that you just made with iTunes on its own.
After that uninstall the App.

    Myself and my girlfriend use the decipher textmessage program. She's on windows and I use the version for my macbook pro. It works cool and lets you save your text messages from your iphone to your computer.

    I accidentally deleted text message from a specific person in my phone.  Not sure how to recover from an earlier version of a back up?  Or if that's possible.  HELP!  I need these messages!

    Restore from a backup that was done before you deleted them.
    Otherwise they are gone.

  • 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.

  • Decipher tools or Wondershare to retrieve daughters deleted text messages?

    My wife and I are needing to retrieve our 16 year olds deleted text messages. We found two programs: Wondershare and Decipher Tools.  Between these two programs which would you use?  And just to clarify,  do I hook her phone up to ITunes, then back it up and then retrieve her deleted text messages from that backup? (The wagging understand it is that you use wondershare or the other program to retrieve the text messages from that backup file- right?)  Thanks

  • My iPhone 5S drowned in a rainstorm. How can I retrieve contacts and text messages from iCloud backup onto my iPad mini?

    My iPhone 5S drowned in a rainstorm. How can I retrieve contacts and text messages from iCloud backup onto my iPad mini? There are some contacts on the iPad already but nowhere near all of them. I need to re-enter the contacts manually into an iPhone 4 as it does not support iOS 8.

    Let me get this straight.....You lost your phone.  You never backed it up, either to your computer or to a cloud service.
    How in the world would you expect to get data back?
