Way 2: Retrieve erased messages from iPhone with iCloud

Now for the network dependent storage system of Apple, users can also retrieve deleted texts from iPhone using iCloud. However, bear in mind there are some consumers reporting unsuccessful attempts with this method, as it doesn’t support all iPhone models. Restoring SMS with iCloud is easy. See below:

1. Log in to iCloud.com using your ID and password.
2. Locate text messages (make sure you have previously backed it up).
3. Search the exact SMS you want to restore.
4. Go to your iPhone and choose “settings” > “Apple account” > “iCloud”.
5. Turn off text messages.
6. A pop up should appear; select “Keep on My iPhone”.

Way 3: Restore SMS on iPhone from iTunes Backup

If the above still doesn’t let you retrieve lost message conversations from iPhone, don’t worry as you have another option at hand. Recover messages with the help of iTunes by following these steps:

1. Please ensure your iPhone and iTunes don’t sync automatically. Check “settings” first and unclick “automatically sync” in case you are skeptical.
2. Connect your phone to iTunes and head over to “Preferences” then “Backup from iTunes” to backup. You can also right click on your device and choose “backup”.
3. Retrieve erased SMS from iPhone by selecting “Restore”. However, this will also restore your previous firmware, and all your current data will be completely erased.

4. Finally, you can restore your iPhone from the backup data you created in Step 2. This will allow you to recover deleted text messages easily.

Conclusion

The above ways to retrieve deleted messages from iPhone and other models have advantages and disadvantages. Clearly, restoring lost SMS using iCloud and iTunes requires you to have previous backup for it to be successful. If you don’t have previous backups, the best way to recover text messages and other files is to use ApowerRescue. It is more reliable and simple to use. In addition, you have several options available, such as to restore directly on your phone without any backups or to retrieve messages via previous reserves.
