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!

  • 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 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 recover deleted text messages from my iPhone 5 using my iphone 5

    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 do I delete text messages from my mobile hotspot?

    I get non-verizon text messages on my jetpack.  I'd like to delete them, but can't figure out how.
    [I did figure out how to block at least some of them tonight - I don't want to have to pay to receive texts about free cruises to the Bahamas!]

    Which Jetpack? On a 5510L, login to the web interface at http://192.168.1.1, navigate to Messages, scroll to the bottom of the page and click “Delete All Messages!”

  • 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. 
    Fanette

    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,
    Alex H.

  • 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

  • Is there anyway to recover deleted text messages without a backup?

    I have an Iphone 3gs. I desperately need to recover deleted text messages from it. I have never synched my phone to itunes, "automatically synch to itunes" has always been unchecked. I had never made a back up until a few days ago, but i need to recover the messages deleted prior to creating the backup. is this possible at all? thank you
    and once the phone is synched, are your deleted messages lost forever
    thank you so much!

    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.

  • 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.
