How can I get back my deleted Imessages

Is there a way to receive back my deleted Imessages?

I do use Icloud, so if I could choose an Icloud backup at a given time would help on my case, but I have no clue how to do that.

iTunes/iCloud backup stores only what you have on your device.

Each time you take a backup the data is either Added / Deleted based on what is available on your device. In other words, you only have one backup at any given time for a device.


However, in iTunes, you may archive an old backup and create a fresh one. --> Create Multiple backups on iTunes for the same iOS / iPad devices

Recover Deleted Texts


If iCloud is set to ON for text messages and you deleted some text messages then they are gone from iCloud so cannot retrieved! If this is the case then it is all over and no need to read further.


 If you do not use iCloud for text messages then you can restore your iPhone from a backup on your iCloud account (if you use iCloud to back up your iPhone). Once you restore then your texts will only be as current as when the back up was created. Here is ➔ How to restore your iPhone from an iCloud back up.


The other option is to restore your iPhone from a backup that you may have created on your computer. Once again, if you restore your iPhone from a computer back up then your texts will only be as current as the day and time the backup was created. 

If you have a backup created on your computer and If you choose to restore your iPhone from your iPhone from it then here is how to do it ➔ Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from a backup - Apple Support
