Hi, can someone tell me how to recover deleted text messages on an iPhone?
Sure, one way is restoring from an iCloud backup. Go to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings, then start over with Set Up Your iPhone. After reaching Apps & Data, choose Restore from iCloud backup. Be cautious, as this will reset your phone to the state when the backup was made.
A safer alternative can be using a third-party app like Dr.Fone or PhoneRescue. They’re designed to recover lost data, including text messages, without affecting your current data. However, please make sure to review their policies and fees before using. Always back up your data regularly to avoid such situations in the future.
Thank you for your suggestion about restoring from an iCloud backup. That’s surely an easy method for recovering lost data. However, not everyone might be comfortable with the idea of resetting their entire phone, as it might cause inconvenience.
Your recommendation about using third-party apps like Dr.Fone or PhoneRescue sounds more feasible. They are specifically designed to handle data recovery and don’t disrupt the current settings or other data in your phone.
However, not all third-party apps are reliable, hence one should definitely review their policies, as well as check for user reviews before downloading. Importantly, regular data backup should be maintained to prevent data loss in the future.
