Hi. I've tried to recover various sms from my iPhone, but they were long gone, which is irrelevant.

In order to recover SMS, you would need to restore from a back up that contains those messages. If you don't have a back up containing those messages, they are gone.

I heard the recovery tool can't work if the data has been overwritten.

The links in this thread to recovery tools were scams to get your money. They have been removed by the hosts.

Recovery tools cannot work on iOS at all, and generally can't work on a Mac or Windows PC if the space has been reused. And they are very intrusive, as they must search your entire disk. As the vendors are generally lowlifes, there's no telling what they will do with whatever they find. Also, if your drive is solid state the recovery they can't work either, as SSD drives reallocate and readdress space dynamically.

You don't. Deleted is gone forever. Unless you have an iTunes or iCloud backup made before it was deleted. If you do you can restore the backup, but this will overwrite everything on the phone. There is no partial restore of a backup.

I am using iphone6S. My important messages have been deleted. Please help me to restore my messages from iphone

Because reading the thread before posting it apparently didn't occur to you, I will repeat the solution:

If you have a back up containing the deleted text messages, you can restore your phone from that back up. Be aware that any data you've added to the phone since the back up was made will be over written. If you don't have a back up, the messages are gone.

How would someone know if there messages were backed up to the cloud? My back up was yesterday, but how would i know that those messages are backed up and if restoring will bring them back without deleting anything since the back up?

Messages are included in the back up. If you restore from that back up, you'll put the messages back on your phone. However, you will overwrite anything that was added to the phone since the back up was made.

If I have a back up containing the old messages? The messages were from years ago, so I dont know how to check if they were included in the back up. I recently added the MAC message to my desktop, and only the messages that started two months ago were on that application. I'm curious if thats all that will be backed up to my phone or will my cloud backup likely restore the messages from years ago. Your help is greatly appreciated.

Hey how can I get deleted messages to appear because I accidentally deleted them

Did you take the time to read this thread before posting in it?

If you have a back up that contains the deleted texts, you can restore from the back up. Note that restoring from a back up will overwrite anything already on the device.

If you follow the instructions here all of your content (including messages) will be gone forever:
