How to retrieve deleted text messages from 3GS iPhone

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.
If is not synchronized you will recover your SMS and everything but you will lose all your chats from the backup to now. (For example: WhatsApp's chats from the last backup until now)

  • 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).

  • 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.

  • How to retrieve deleted text messages from a SD card

    Hi, 
    my text messages were saved on  a SD card. I gave it to a friend, but before I copied everthing on my laptop. The problem is that now, the SD doesn 't work anymore. So I copied the files from my laptop to another SD card. But when I insert this SD card in my phone, I can not find my text messages! 
    Do you have a solution for me? 
    This would be extremly helpful.
    Thank you for your help.

    Hello PARDAppleuser,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    If there are multiple backups of the iPhone, you should be able to browse the previous backups in order to restore from an older version with the text messages on it.  The available backups will appear to choose from when you are beginning the restore process.
    Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iCloud or iTunes - Apple Support
    Take care,

  • 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.

  • What is the best product to retrieve deleted text messages from someones phone that are a month old

    What is the best product to use to retrieve deleted text messages from someones phone a month ago?

    The only way to retrieve a deleted text message would be to restore a backup created after the message was sent but prior to the message being deleted.
    There may be programs that can extract this information directly from the backup files themselves, google for possible solutions.

  • HT3529 How to recover deleted text messages from iphone using iPhone

    I'm trying to recover text messages I deleted on my iPhone4s. Is it possible?
    Is it possible to do with out using a computer. If possible I'd like to recover the messages using my iPhone.

    If the backup is made after the messages were deleted, then you won't be able to get them back via an iTunes restore. However, you may be able to use a third-party program to look at the backup made after the messages were deleted and see what information about those messages is recoverable.
    One program, the one I work on, is called Decipher TextMessage. Our software will scan the text-message database and show you what information (whole and incomplete) was found that has been previously deleted. We've had a lot of success helping folks recover their deleted text messages -- it doesn't always work 100% since we're at the mercy of how the database works but it's worth a shot to see what you can find!
    The website for Decipher TextMessage is http://deciphertools.com
    You're also welcome to visit our website, try the software free, and send us any questions that you have.

  • Cant delete text messages from my iphone 4s

    i have not been able to delete text message since the new update ios 8.3.
    i go to the message screen select person i want to delete. and press the red delete button. but when i turn my phone
    off and turn in it back on. the message appears again.

    Hi maryamss, the iPhone never really deletes things it just hides it from the system sounds like something has gone askew. Have you tried a hard restart? Hold the Home and Power buttons down together, keep them held until the phone shuts of and you then see the apple symbol may take up to 20 seconds. It is then safe to release the buttons. Failing this restoring your phone with iTunes should sort it out.

  • How can I delete saved messages from my iphone 5s to be able to update it?

    I have needed to update my Iphone 5s from the past 2 updates but it says that I have 4.2 GB of saved messages.  I don't know where to go to delete them.  I delete regular messages from my phone daily so I'm not sure what is being saved and where.
    Thanks!

    You would need to set up your mail account as a POP account instead of IMAP.
    I'm not sure if Hotmail/msn offers that -
