Is it possible to recover messages on your phone? Recovering deleted SMS messages on your phone (Android)

If the user mobile phone accidentally deleted an important SMS, then he has the opportunity to use some tools designed specifically for returning erased text messages. Let's look at how to restore SMS on a phone running Android and iOS operating systems.

SMS recovery on Android

To successfully recover erased messages, be it Android or iOS, two conditions must be met:

• SMS messages were recently deleted;
• The phone did not turn off after this unpleasant incident.

This is due to the fact that if SMS messages are accidentally or intentionally destroyed, they are stored in the cache for some time, from where they can be removed. When you reboot the gadget, the cache is cleared and, accordingly, all fingerprints of the information stored in it disappear. That is why it is unlikely that old messages can be revived.

The success of the recovery procedure largely depends on the software used. The most effective programs in this area are considered:

• SMS Backup & Restore;
• Data Doctor Recovery - SIM Card.

Yes, for iCloud usage synchronization with the gadget must be activated cloud storage, and for iTunes – a backup of the OS is recorded on the computer. Another disadvantage of these methods is that It is not possible to return messages alone– you will need to do full recovery systems, and this is not always convenient.
