You are a lifesaver, I accidentally deleted my group chat and you helped me get it back. Thank you so much

guys i just miss her so i wanna look back at our old texts edit: nvm i just have to accept the fact that she's found someone new and i'll have to move on someday 😀

Thank you so much. I never deleted any of my text messages so don’t know why they suddenly disappeared. The only thing I did to my iPhone recently, was an iOS 14.4.2 software update. Your 2nd set of instructions appears to have done the job and I seem to have recouped the majority if not all my missing text messages. Thanks again 🥰

Thank you so much! Just backed up my iphone with my Mac computer and the messages that were randomly deleted magically re-appeared!

Thumbs up for including the timestamp for each method in the description 👍

omg thank you so much i literally delete most of my family and friends conversations (through text) and i didnt mean to delete it. you helped me a lot thank you!

Thank god I wanted to delete one message in a conversation with my best friend and I deleted the whole conversation I was looking everywhere for a method and one of these worked

Method 2 worked!!! Thank you!! I had to turn my phone off and on for it to finish loading

Hi. My last backup was July. So if I deleted all of the text last week. This will retrieve all of the text btwn July and now?

I got all the messages back just the photos sent there but at least the messages are. Thankyou

:( i didn’t have my I could backed up and I accidentally deleted a very Important conversation trying to delete a photo and now I can’t get it back

Hate iPhones....but have to use one for work. Tried to move everything over to new iPhone and it was a mess. Got everything back finally EXCEPT for text messages. Luckily, i had checked the messages box in the iCloud backup options on my old phone. When I followed your video, I realized the messages was clicked in my NEW phone. Clicked that and they all came back...THANK YOU!!!

The iCloud method helped me but not the iTunes for some reason I have an iPhone 7 and a lenevo laptop

Can you please show how to install from MacBook Air App Store. I’ve downloaded it but my devices aren’t showing up on it.

Turns out my messages weren’t on after a reset. Wow I guess I’m one of the “lucky ones” this video helped a lot. Thanks!

lol i’m too scared for the first and i sadly have messages off for the second. rip. 😭

Thank you so much I checked my phone and all my conversations were deleted and to me those conversations meant so much

will the 2nd one delete your photos? i did it but i’m scared it will delete them

Way 2 is the only one I can use and it’s not working

Can you go into the backup without putting it back on the iPad in order to retrieve the old messages? I unfortunately had auto delete after a year on my old iPad and it deleted all of my old icloud messages that have no backup except for the one on my computer…

I really hope this helps me.

Bro method #2 is that gonna delete any other messagess ????

I’m having trouble using disk drill.. my screen isn’t appearing the same as yours. “iPhone” isn’t popping up for me to get the recover option

Can you do this for windows cmon nothing works for me have been trying for days

for the 2nd option how long does it take to download files?

for the factory reset, do i need to back up before i reset or do i skip backup?

Thank u so much .... I accidentally deleted a conversation and wanted backup for only messages . I have turn on backup for limited apps to save iCloud space and resetting and backing up to last restore would result in losing the unsaved things. Thank you . You are my hero!!

Thank you so very much. The first option worked for me. I looked at a different video for same issue and I would have to do so many steps and download games and play them for 30 seconds to download an app that would pull my old messages. I just had no time for that. This is a really adult and mature way to go about it so thanks again. Blessings to you!!!

My boyfriend who was my everything, passed away very unexpectedly a year ago and I accidentally deleted our text thread over the past 5 years with pictures as well 😭 I didn’t know with every backup the old one gets overwritten by the new one, so the backup with the texts is gone.... it’s been a year and I don’t know if it’s even possible anymore. I want more than anything to get them back but I’m kinda scared to use any of the recovery tools because I don’t my phone to get a virus or be damaged :/ Any advice if possible?

Why can't I access Disk Drill Iphone Data on my windows laptop????????????? Please help!

I don't understand how the set up on the message app makes it so easy to delete the messages; yet, it's such a hassle to retrieve. For the money that's spent on these phones, Apple can do much better than that. The initial deletion should go to a folder and we should be given the option to retrieve the message from that folder and restore without making it a project.

Does it work with videos

It really did work thank you so much I really thought I lost my messages one thing that Is kinda upsetting is that I don’t have my most recent ones but they’re my messages from 3 days ago

How do i delete history of people ive texted. I delete message. But if u hit the box in upper right corner. Then hit period. Up pops everyone yiu have texted

I got a new iPhone back in March and didn’t have enough space so I deleted text messages, a month later my mother passed away suddenly. I ended up buying more space? But will any of these tips help me retrieve our messages from the last time I deleted them in March?

I have a question, what if you backed up your phone after deleting the message cause my phone wasn’t backed up when I deleted the message, would it work???and it was today that I both deleted my messages and backed my phone….

What happens if the Messages toggle was off prior to trying to use the iCloud Backup? Does that mean it won’t work?

I dont know if I have a back working or not I guess we should have gone through that steps first then do the erase thing

I did number 2. It did download but I saw the message that it was downloading. I turned it back on. The message disappeared. So I turned it back on. Still messages didn’t dl so I did the restore back up method. Unfortunately that thread didn’t reappear?! Have I deleted them for good?😩

Has anyone done #4 method?

I messed up , I turned my messages off then turn it back on too quick , is it gonna work still ?

how do i get it to scan my phone???

I need help please

Does Disk Drill work if you wanna recover messages from almost 2 years ago ?

What if I don’t have a computer for disc drill? I need my text for important legal matters

It says I have to upgrade in it I’m only doing one thing can I please get an activation code

I lost everything. Thanks for trying to help

HOW FAR BACK CAN I GO

Thank you so much, the 2nd method worked perfectly, I was too afraid to attempt the first lol

It didn’t work I need help

May God bless you on this Sabbath Day. It worked for me. Thank you so much

Clever ! For step #4 I don’t have an iMac to download and you my iPhone !!! Please help

Ok so i accidently deleted a whole conversation with a person and it has a lot of information that I need but the conversation is still on my computer. is there anyway that I can recover the conversation on my phone thru the computer or no?

Hi, I hope you can help. Here is the situation. I have a text message conversation that I need to retrieve off an lost iPhone. I have tried app Decipher, iCloud and iTunes, however, the lost phone had not been backed up to iTunes and I apparently did not have the messages toggled on for iCloud back up. I have not attempted to reach out to my carrier yet. Do you have any other suggestions of how to possibly recover this text conversation? Or is my last option going to be contacting my carrier?

I’m watching…. And nervous!!I need these messages

Mines not deleted it's just 6 months back. Is there an easier way than spending an hour scrolling back

Thanks pal. My wife had deleted all of her messages from me and wasn't convinced they could be retrieved until I used your advice. I'm an android guy but have had to learn a lot about Iphones to keep her out of trouble.

Hi? For the disk drill? Should we connect our iPhone to our mac for recovery?

😭 Thank You!!!!! I lost my gfs convo with pictures and a lot of memories. Thank You so much!!!

All the iCloud one did was disconnect my wifi and I don’t remember the code so thats great 🙂

For the disk drill my iPhone is not showing ip

so i accdently deleted a text messages from a couple of days ago i don't think i had iCloud on at the time will i still be able to recover them

someone help please i already tried 1 and 2

does it work on a phone that its been with no service line?

Damn. My conversation took place in 2018 and can’t use the first strategy.

Can you please help me recover my messages. I installed disk drill on may computer (windows) but I don't know how to use it. I plugged in my Iphone but I cant find the recover button

can you retreave deleated messages from a flip phone Acatel?

Will this work if you have a new phone and the message on the old phone

Holy shit! It worked! I used the second method and it worked like a charm. Thank you so much!

I’m trying to use the disk drill method and I don’t understand how to get my iPhone messages to show up. I’m so confused. I have a windows desktop btw

IPHONE recovery is only available in MAC version. I spent over an hour downloading your software on my WINDOWS PC

Why didn’t the second one work for me?????? Literally nothing change even though it was saying backing up data

Will number 4 way work on iPhone 4 or 4s ?

I’m stuck in “downloading messages from iCloud” how long does it usually take

Ur a lifesaver thank you soo much 🙏🏽. You need to go virall!

I cant recover the messages

I’m confused. I tried the second one and now all of my photos and pictures are gone. I’m freaking out!

what do i do if i backed up a week ago but the message i deleted was from yesterday (basically it was never backed up to icloud)

The second method first says downloading messages from i cloud. Then it says plug in and turn on wifi. What do i plug in I'm confused can anyone help!!

Hey, does it work with unbacked messages?

What amazing voice you have. You should seriously consider being a DJ. Broadcasting is definitely your domain

Regarding the second method. How do you know when the download is complete and you can switch back on?

Can you connect iphone to a windows laptop and then use disk drill? Or does it have to be a macbook

This might be kinda stupid, or not stupid I don’t really know lol, but I had these two or three hilarious videos I took on my phone in 2013 and I want to recover that. Is that even possible lol? Does anyone know?

Option 2 brought back all the texts except the one I wanted. It was at least a year or two old text chain from a friend that passed. And all I see in the comments is that god awful auto reply to everyone

I downloaded & plugged in my Iphone (on my windows computer)-My iphone is not showing up in the tree as an option. Any ideas? Thanks

Do I hit erase all and confirm twice

Hi does this work for text messages on iPhone?

Omg thank you 🙏🏼 the best video can I see . I use the second choice and works perfectly. Gracias 🙏🏼

I downloaded Disk Drill and got to the data part but it only shows all the messages currently on my phone, and not the ones I recently deleted...

So after I turned off messages and hit download messages how do I find my recovered text because they are not with the rest of my text messages

Can i get messages back from a year ago??

The second way works good for me

Help! I went to the apple store and they said (do the first attempt) can’t promise that I will get my messages back My phone was backed up on the 9

Method #2 saved my ass - thank you so much 🙏🏼

The second one worked!!!! You saved me!

Where does it download the messages to on method 2

Where’s the link for method 4

Back bucket!! it’s in my hands watching you
