Many have come across such a situation when, wanting to delete one message in the phone, they mistakenly deleted all SMS. It is especially offensive if accidentally deleted messages contain any important information. In this case, it doesn’t hurt to know how you can recover messages that have disappeared from your phone.
What to do if important messages are deleted
It is quite easy to recover deleted SMS if the phone has a special folder "Deleted messages" and the device has not been disconnected from the moment the information was erased. You just need to open the folder and create a request to return deleted messages. If the device does not have such a function, you can do a little differently.
To recover lost information, you will need the following items:
- telephone;
- card reader or USB cable;
- a computer;
- special programs.
First, download a data recovery program, for example, you can use the free Recuva program. Use a cable to connect the phone to the computer or place the SIM card in the card reader and try to enter the computer through it. Now find the "Recover Data" box. As soon as you open it, the information deleted from the phone will appear on the monitor.
However, it is worth remembering that you can only recover recently erased information and only if the phone has not been rebooted or turned off. If the cache memory in the device has been cleared, you will not be able to recover SMS.
Is it possible to recover messages on Android
If you need to restore SMS on Android, install SMS Backup & Restore software, which saves files and, if necessary, restores them, even if the information has already been deleted. This program protects against the loss of necessary data.
How else can you recover messages
When you choose one or another telecom operator, try to find out what list of services it offers to customers. For example "Megafon" offers SMS recovery service. Only the owner of the SIM card has access to such services. If you use a SIM card registered for another person, this method will not help you. Therefore, before deleting messages, think about whether you want to destroy those SMS. Never rush to hit the OK button, make sure you are doing everything right.
