Losing iOS Data Can Happen To You
Contents
You may think that losing SMS messages on your iPhone will never happen to you.
Until it actually happens.
From there, you have the following options:
Option #1. Use Your Backup
You may have a habit of regularly backing up data on external storage drives and systems, e.g., your computer and iPhone. If this is the case, then your erased iPhone message may be found in the backup file. Keep in mind that we say ‘may’ because Apple does not exactly say what files are backed up and if the messages you’ve lost are in there.
Option #2. Internal Storage
Did you know that pressing ‘erase’ on a text message doesn’t mean it’s completely gone? This is due to a process called ‘data overwriting’, which means that the files you erase are kept in code and may only be overwritten when you install an app, save a message and other similar actions.
Option #3. Ask Your Cellular Provider
In cases where no backup was made and the messages have been overwritten, you can try calling up your mobile carrier and ask if they can retrieve your lost SMS from their servers.
Option #4. Use PhoneRescue to Recover SMS without Backup, and without data Erasing
The moment you realize you deleted an important message, stop using it. This is so that your iPhone won’t be overwritten with new data. Then, follow these steps to retrieve lost text messages on iPhone. Here I find a tool can help you recover messages without backup.
