How to retrieve accidentally deleted call logs on iPhone?

Once you delete the call from your iPhone, it's gone. You can contact your carrier to get your recent calls and in many cases, carriers let you view your call log from your account on their website.

Your phone's call history is stored in a file named CallHistory.storedata. Using forensic methods, you can extract this data and find the information you need.

Here's a brief guide to locate and recover this data:

1. Create an encrypted backup of your phone using Finder on your Mac (call history is only saved in encrypted backups).

2. Scan your backup with any software capable of extracting files from iOS backups.

3. Locate the CallHistory.storedata file and recover it.

4. Change the file extension from .storedata to .db.

5. Open this file with any software that can handle SQL databases.

6. The ZCALLRECORD table contains the database of all your calls, including recently deleted ones.

P.S. If you have experience with SQL databases or forensic software, you can find call records spanning several years, including deleted ones.

It talks about recovering SMS messages but uses a similar technique and requires broader knowledge of working with SQL databases.

Hi! Can u please help me to back up my missed call I deleted?

No. Log into your account on your carrier's website and see if they offer a list of recently made and received calls. Most will give you the last 3-6 months at least.

The call disappear once it's deleted from your iPhone. The carrier may provide you with your recent calls, and many carriers allow you to view your recent calls online through your account. Are you use the modified version app, Since it includes many features. You can really enjoy for using it.

Already answered, you don't.

Dude, this really works. I'm not an expert with databases, but I recovered a file using Disk Drill like you said and sent it to my brother, who is great with databases and analytics. He found me 2 important phone numbers that called me last month, but I messed up and didn't save them. Tell me, can I use your method to recover deleted messages too? I really need the messages from our university advisor. And thanks a lot, man. Everyone says nothing can be recovered, but they’re totally wrong, haha.
