Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
I know I can go to my cell phone bill and see a phone number where messages were sent and received from on phones on my account whether they have been deleted or not. How can we see the same information on iMessages? I am trying to track a possible cheating spouse and the iMessage makes that very difficult with him deleting text messages. Help! I do not want to be a fool!!!
iPhone 4S, iMessage
I know a way
How?
How? I would like to know also.
When I downloaded iBackupbot, and performed a backup of my iphone, it provided all iMessages conversations I had for a very long time, even though I had deleted them. I dont know what info you would need to backup someone else's... but there is a trail for iMessages.
There are two answers to this one kind of:
1) Keep in mind that if you make a new backup in iTunes now, you're likely to overwrite the previous backup. iTunes usually only keeps one backup at a time for each device.
2) The messages will not blend together -- the new backup will have the newer text-message database file from your phone now.
If you're looking to recover deleted text messages, you may want to look into some third-party software for this. I am the lead developer on Decipher TextMessage a program that will read your iTunes backups of your iPhone and
a) do the blending together of different backups to create a wholistic history (assuming you do have multiple backups -- if you're interested in how to keep multple backups, drop me a note here or on our website!)
b) allow you to view all of the messages that were not deleted in your backups
c) help you recover deleted messages from the backups. See that other forum post I liked above for information on how that is possible 🙂
Disclaimer: I work for Decipher Media, so I stand to benefit from the links I posted above to the Decipher Tools website.

How?! I would really like to know

So now I have a question... Will two different iPhone 5 models receive the same iMessage if they are logged in with the same apple Id and passwords but different phone numbers?
If you use the same Apple ID for iMessage on multiple devices, then each device can receive iMessages sent to that Apple ID. So, yes, there will be crossover. To avoid this, each user needs their own unique Apple ID.
How many someone get in contact with you?
Will all messages from the device show up or only what was on the device when it was backed up?
Just curious how this turned out since you posted in 2012 are you still married?
Track iMessages that have been deleted from a phone?
