You can't, unless you backed it up somewhere before you deleted it.   There are apps in Google Play that will back up your text messages and forward them to your e-mail.

  • Can I restore text messages from a destroyed iPhone 4 if I didn't backup in the cloud?

    Can I restore text messages from a destroyed iPhone 4 if I didn't backup in the cloud?

    If you backed it up using iTunes on your computer, then you can restore it from there. If you didn't back it up at all, then no. There is no place to restore it from.

  • Timestamps are gone on restored text messages

    Hello,
    I was using Verizon Cloud to backup my text messages.  I recently performed a factory reset on my phone (Motorola DROID 3) and then re-installed the Verizon Cloud app.  For a while, nothing happened.  Then, overnight, it apparently synced all of my text messages back to my phone.  This had two undesired results:
    1. The restored text messages overwrote any messages which I had sent or received after the reset.
    2. All of my text messages are now timestamped with the time they were restored, instead of the original date and time.
    Has anyone else experienced this?  Is there anything I can do to resolve either, or both, of these issues?

    Personally I think a third party app from the Play Store would have succeeded where the VZW cloud failed. This app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.riteshsahu.SMSBackupRestore hasn't failed me yet in the three years I've used it

  • Can you restore text messages from Verizon Cloud to a Samsung Stratosphere?

    I pocket erased all my text messages.  I have them backed up to the Cloud supposedly, but can't figure out how to download them back onto my phone.  Went to a Verizon Wireless store today and they were useless.  They didn't know anything about using Cloud.  Looking online here, it appears that I should be able to select them and restore them, but I don't have the download option when I'm in Cloud.
    Any alternatives to Cloud to restore these deleted texts too?

    I spent about 15 minutest trying to have the same question answered by the Verizon tech support people.  The first answer I received was that it was not possible to restore the messages.  When I asked why the Verizon Cloud offered the option to save messages, I was told to hold. About 5 minutes later, I was told that I had to open the Messages app and wait for the messages to download.  I had done that for two hours and nothing....Finally, I decided to save all the messages on the phone's SIM card using the Messages' "Save Conversations" option.  I then, transferred the SIM card to the new phone, told it to "Restore Messages from SIM card and viola. All the messages were restored.  I hope this helps. Until Verizon figures out the glitch in their app, this is the best way to restore your text messages.

  • IPhone restore from backup won't restore text messages?

    Hey everybody! So, I went to the Apple store today with a broken power button. Luckily, I was still under warranty so they took my phone and gave me a new (or refurbished) one. I backed up my phone right before I went to the store. The guy at Genius assured me that all of my data would be restored to my phone as soon as I connected my new phone and clicked "restore from backup" on iTunes.
    After I did this, everything was back - my apps, photos, reminders, notes, everything - except for my messages. My messages are completely blank. I tried restoring it twice - both times, everything was fine except for my messages. My old phone was iOS 5.1.1 and the one they gave me was automatically iOS 6. Could this be the problem? If not, what's wrong? How can I fix this and return my messages to my phone?
    Thanks!

    Does the recipient have an iPhone?   I assume yes - you won't see a Delivered status on a text message.
    If yes, does your outgoing message show as Blue or Green?
    If no, did he once have an iPhone and switch to another device?

  • How do I restore text messages?

    Is there a way to restore deleted text messages? Or can a copy be sent to my tablet?

        I know how important text messages can be, Sandman7256. Although we can't restore deleted text messages, you can use Verizon Messages to see copies of your text messages on a tablet or web browser. For all the details, visit www.vzw.com/verizonmessages.

  • Restoring text messages

    I am unable to download my text messages from the cloud to my Sony Xperia.  Have tried several times to "restore" messages, with no success.  Any help would be appreciated!?

    You may want to try an alternative way of backing up your texts, such as using SMS Backup and Restore from the Play Store:

    Is there a way to retrieve text messages when the phone has been restored?

    Restore the backup.  If the messages were in the phone when it was last backed up, they will be restored to the phone.

  • Help restoring text messages after botched messages_database sync

    I needed to save/print valuable text messages from my Treo 700p.  Foolishly hadn't synced in a couple of years.  Unfortunately, I believe that I set the conduit to replace my current (2012) text messages with the old (2010) messages_database.pdb file from my back up folder.  I desperately need to get the 2012 messages back.  It appears that the data on my Treo as well as on my PC now only contain the 2010 information.
    Is there any way to get the probably over-written 2012 data back?

  • 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.

  • HT4623 How do I restore texts that I deleted

    How do I restore text Messages that I deleted from my phone.

    If you backed up your phone after you received the messages but before you deleted them, you can restore the phone to that back up. Otherwise, they're gone.

  • Transfer only text messages from backup

    I have a Q5 and I did a software update on my phone few hours ago. Everything worked well except that my text messages are all gone.
    I have taken backup but how do I only restore text messages from backup. Please help

    Kacper,
    Using itunes you are able to restore from a previuosly backedup IOS. However, it's not possible to 'cherry pick' what it is you will be restoring from the backup. The backup is stored in a compressed file which requires extraction prior to using it.

    good luck.
