I want to recover messages and photos from my old iphone from about a year ago and cant seem to find them anywhere. How can I gain access to this if IOS has stored the information somewhere. I am having no luck with this. Does anyone have any suggestions?

TThi this may be a dumb question but I can't find the app Spotlight Search. Can someone please help explain to me how to get back my deleted texts that I accidentally deleted?

Appreciate any help someone can offer me.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi Not a dumb question when you are lost your are lost. In the messages at the very top there is an edit and pen and paper if you pull down at the very top of the messages app there is a spotlight search bar where you can search for the message you are looking for. If you deleted it - it probably is not there. I have purchased an app that is sold online called Decipher Text Messages. It will allow for some deleted messages to be recovered if they are still in the memory of the phone. They offer a trial app so you can see if it is something you want to buy. It is pretty easy to use. If you have backed up the phone it is also possible to get the messages back. If it shows up in Decipher Text message app you can print the messages and save them in a word app on your computer. Hope this helps

Wizard can you try to help me? I have an iPhone 6 Plus with 64 memory , I recently deleted my text messages with a friend when he died on March 18 . I only ****** up my pictures to iCloud never did a complete backup I'm trying to get my messages back . Nine dollars for iOS Wondershare any didn't get anything . So are you saying in the text above that I could do a back up to a computer and probably find them or is that only if you originally did a backup of your phone ? I really want some of the pictures and text i erased. God bless and ty

I’m using an iPhone 6s running iOS 9.3.5. I cannot find my deleted messages with the search feature. However, many tools like this to claim to recover deleted messages even if no iCloud or iTunes backup was created. I don’t know whether they would work as advised or not, but keeping my information private and protected has always been a top concern when I’m choosing my mobile phone. Is there any way to make the deleted data unrecoverable?

Hi I'm desperately trying to recover a text message from a friend a year ago since he passed away.

I tried a few software and they can only back up the message for a month ago.

I called Apple and they said called my provider and my provider answered no text can be retrieved.

Is there any way to retrieve the text message a year ago? Thanks!

SMS/MMS are not synced with an application on your computer or included with the iTunes sync process in any way except for being included with your iPhone's backup which is updated by iTunes as the first step during the iTunes sync process. The data included with the iPhone's backup is not stored in your iTunes library. This link provides the data on your iPhone that is included with your iPhone's backup.

If you have no backup, you still have a chance to recover your data like messages, photos or contacts from your iPhone without backup.

You need a program which can identify iOS system and scan your lost data.

I don’t have any iTunes and iCloud backup of the lost text messages so that I have to use a third app. There are so many apps that claims to recover deleted text messages and other files from iOS devices for me to choose from, however, most of them cannot get the found text messages back to the device except this one: http://retrievedeletedtextmessageiphone.aolor.com/
