How to recover deleted texts on Android

[mdabuhasan]

Android users can also have automatic backups stored on Google Drive. Just like iPhones, restoring your texts this way will reset your phone. Unlike an iPhone, you can save everything you want to keep to an SD card before you wipe the phone’s internal memory.

Please note that MMS messages are not saved in Google Drive backups without a subscription.

First, check your recent backups. These steps can vary phone number library by device and Android version, so the process could be a bit different for you:

Go to your cell phone Settings > Cloud and accounts > Backup and restore
Make sure you can access the Google Drive account used for backups.
You will need to factory reset the phone to restore the backup:
Go to your phone Settings > General management > Reset (on older Android versions, go to Settings > Privacy)
Tap to Reset and wait for the phone to restart and enter its setup process automatically.
During setup, you will be asked to enter a Google account. Log into the account you saw in the Backup menu.
Select the Restore from backup option, and choose the correct device.

3. Retrieve deleted texts by contacting your carrier
It may be possible to get your lost texts back by contacting your phone provider. Fair warning though – this is rarely an easy option. Not all phone providers store your messages; even if they do, you could be left waiting days for a response.

They will ask you for documents and photo ID to confirm your identity, which takes longer. Any issues with those, and you’re back to square one. You might also have to pay a fee to cover the costs of this process. With this method, it can take weeks to get your messages back.

Many carriers keep records of text messages and may be able to retrieve them for you. However, depending on the carrier’s policies and local laws, this method may require a court order or other legal authorization.

It’s important to note that even if your carrier can retrieve the deleted messages, there may be limitations on how far back they can go and how much information they can recover.
