How do I restore deleted iMessages on iPhone 6

Actually there are 2 more methods to recover your deleted text messages:

1. Extract from iTunes or iCloud backup

To use this method, you should download an iPhone backup extractor first, and use it to scan the iTunes or downloaded iCloud backups on your computer, preview the found data, and select the text messages that you want to recover to save to your computer or get them back to your device. The biggest advantage of this method is that it won’t do any harm to the current data on your device.

2. Recover directly with iPhone data recovery software

This is always the last solution, if you haven't backed up your iPhone neither with iTunes nor iCloud or the backup files are not the most current. You need only 3 steps: Connect the device, start scan and select the files to recover the texts to a computer or transfer back to the device.

Hi Blasko69，

Luck for your having an iCloud backup. You can reset your iPhone and then restore from previous backup in order to get deleted iMessages back. Done by: "Settings" > "General" > "Reset" > "Erase all Content and Settings".

Restore from an iCloud backup

1. On your iOS device, go to Settings > General > Software Update. If a newer version of iOS is available, follow the onscreen instructions to download and install it.

2. Make sure you have a recent backup to restore from.

   • On your iOS 8 device: Go to Settings > iCloud > Storage > Manage Storage, then tap a device listed under Backups to see the date and size of its latest backup.

   • On your iOS 7 device: Go to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > Manage Storage, then tap a device listed under Backups to see the date and size of its latest backup.

   For information about backing up manually now, see Back up your iOS device to iCloud. If you don’t see a backup you expected to be there, see the Apple Support article If you need help restoring an iCloud backup.

Have you ever backed up your messages in iTunes?

If so, iPhone Data Recovery can help you to scan your iTunes backup files so that you can get the scanning result of your messages.

If you have no backups available, it can also take a direct scan of your iPhone 5, but it works on condition that your contacts haven't been overwritten by new generated data.

Hope it helps you to retrieve deleted text messages on iPhone.

Are the messages deleted permanently? Will any software recover them? I want to deleted them forever since I want to sell my iPhone 6 on eBay, however, I found so many software like this that claims to recover deleted text messages so that I’m worried about the leakage of my personal information.

The messages should be permanently deleted if you erase the phone.

That recovery software is free, so try it and report the results here. Maybe the FBI could have saved a lot of trouble if it works.
