Step 1... The iPhone is reset first. To do this, follow the path " Settings» — « The main» — « Reset", Click on the item" Erase content and settings»And enter the security password.
All data will be completely deleted from the device.... You should be prepared for this - if your gadget contains valuable information (say, numbers), it is better to transfer it to a PC or upload it to the cloud storage. Our site tells about the methods of copying a telephone directory to a computer.
Step 2... Perform the initial configuration of the gadget to the stage " IPhone setup". At this point, select the option " Recover from iCloud copy» (« Restore from iCloud Backup»).
Next, you just need to enter the password from Apple ID and wait for the iPhone to reboot and the recovery process to complete. As soon as the recovery is over, all SMS present in the copy iCloud will appear in the phone's memory.

Is it possible to return SMS to iPhone using third-party programs?
After deleting from the iPhone memory, SMS messages are stored in the cache for some time. This allows you to restore them using third-party applications. In order for "resuscitation" to come to an end with success, two conditions must be met simultaneously:
- The required SMS has been deleted recently.
- The phone did not reboot after deletion.
Find a program that is capable of quickly, qualitatively and is free recovering a message from the iPhone cache is not an easy task. For example, the well-known utility Data Doctor Recovery - SIM Card involves the use of a card reader with a SIM card slot - an accessory outlandish in modern times. Another popular program SmartPhone Recovery Pro requires money, even without giving the opportunity to be convinced of their own effectiveness.
The utility, the free version of which can be downloaded, can achieve positive results. The full version of this program costs a "frightening" amount (almost 4 thousand rubles), however, to restore the content of one SMS, you will not need it.
Using the utility from iSkySoft only possible if you have the latest iTunes on your PC.
After installing the program, proceed as follows:
Step 1... Connect iPhone to PC with cable, run iSkySoft iPhone Data Recovery and proceed to the section " Recover from iOS Device».
Step 2... Leave only one checkmark - " Messages & Attachments"In the block" Deleted Data from the Device"(" Deleted Data "). Uncheck the rest of the checkboxes.
Step 3... Click " Start scan"- this is how you start the process of analyzing the gadget.
The analysis will take 2-3 minutes - upon completion you will see a window like this:
In the column on the left titled “ Messages & Call log"There is information about how many deleted messages, as well as attachments in SMS-ka (" Message Attachments") Was found. In our example, 34 messages and 1 attachment were found.
In a collumn " Phone", Located in the center, there are phone numbers from which SMS were received to the iPhone. It should be noted that information in this column is displayed incorrectly... The addressees of most messages are not determined at all (as indicated by the status “ unknown... "), the rest are determined incorrectly. For example, by the sender of SMS with confirmation codes Web Money appendix appears What’s App, although there is no connection between the messenger and the electronic payment system.
However, this is not a problem. By clicking on different senders and skimming through the column on the right (where the content of the messages is presented), sooner or later you will find the desired SMS. If you were looking for a message due to the presence of some unique and necessary code in it, you can simply rewrite the symbols in a notepad or enter them into " Notes»IPhone.
It will be possible to return the deleted correspondence with one sender to the device memory only after purchasing the full version of the utility. To do this, put a tick in front of the name or phone number of this sender and click on the button " Recover».
Is it possible to remove SMS from iTunes backup without connecting iPhone to computer?
Utility iSkySoft iPhone Data Recovery is able to restore SMS not only from the memory of the "apple" gadget, but also from backup copies of data made through iCloud and iTunes...

Backups on Windows computers iTunes are located in the directory “ Users UsernameAppDataRoamingApple ComputerMobileSyncBackup", And on Mac - in a folder that can be reached by the path" Users UsernameLibrariesApplication SupportMobileSyncBackup". Please note that the folder AppData on Windows it can be hidden.
Access to SMS in the backup copy can be obtained as follows:
Step 1... Run the program and go to the section " Recover from iTunes Backup File».
Step 2... In the special window, select the backup that, in your opinion, contains the desired SMS.
When choosing, be guided by the date indicated in the name of the backup.
Step 3... Having decided on a copy, click on the button " Start scan».
The recovery procedure will begin, as a result of which the utility iSkySoft will decompose all the data contained in the backup, "on the shelves."
Step 4... Open the section " Messages"In the block" Messages & Call log"- this is where you will find SMS.
A quick glance at messages from different senders will help you find the information you need.
The numbers of the senders of most of the SMS from the backup, alas, are not displayed, so the search for the desired message by the addressee is doomed to failure.

Conclusion
When erasing messages on an iPhone, you should be as careful as possible, because restoring an SMS deleted inadvertently is an expensive pleasure. Purchase of special software like SmartPhone Recovery or Enigma recovery will fly into a "tidy" amount - about 4 thousand rubles.
Fortunately, you can find out the content of deleted SMS without spending money - just use the trial version of a useful utility iSkySoft iPhone Data Recovery or restore data from backups iTunes or iCloud... The first method is preferable, since in the second case, by restoring the old SMS, you risk losing some of the relevant information.
Let's consider three ways how to recover deleted SMS and iMessages on iPhone:
- using iCloud (not available for all mobile operators);
- using iTunes (deleted messages must be recorded in a backup copy on disk);
- using a third-party application (it is better to use this method immediately after deleting the SMS).
In this article, we will show you step by step how to recover SMS on iPhone using each of these methods. If you accidentally deleted all the old SMS from the iPhone, and now you need to return it, then there is a chance to quickly restore them.
In fact, this is possible and can be done without resorting to much more complex and time-consuming methods, for example, such as restoring from a backup archive. In the worst case, you can use third-party applications. If you urgently need to recover an important SMS, check the following three methods. Sometimes SMS can be used as evidence in a case, so the recommendations below can serve for much more serious purposes.
Recover Deleted SMS on iPhone via iCloud
If you enable iPhone backup to iCloud or iTunes, you can restore all SMS that have been archived.
Unfortunately, not all countries and mobile operators can back up SMS to iCloud. If not, go straight to the second method.
Sign in with your Apple ID to icloud.com. Click on the "Messages" icon (if there is nothing here, it means that SMS backup is not supported). All archived SMS and iMessage are in the Messages app on iCloud.
Now on iPhone go to Settings → iCloud... Here you need to disable the item Text Messages(or make sure it's off). It sounds contradictory to what your intuition tells you, but it should be done.
A pop-up window will appear, select: Keep on My iPhone... Now turn the switch on Text Messages... Click on the " Merge"And wait a little. After a few minutes, the deleted SMS should be restored on the iPhone.
Recover Deleted Text Messages on iPhone via iTunes
If the above method did not work, use the following methods. Let's try to recover deleted SMS using a backup from iTunes. This method works only if the automatic synchronization with iTunes option is enabled, that is, every time the iPhone is connected to the computer, an archive copy is created on the disk.
Connect iPhone to computer via USB cable. ITunes should open automatically, if not, launch it manually.
Click on the iPhone icon. Then, in the device window, click on "Restore from backup" if the archive creation date suggests that it contains deleted messages. If you are unsure, postpone this operation for now.
Important: The data saved in an earlier backup will replace the data currently on your iPhone. Therefore, you should make sure that there is nothing to lose when restoring the latest backup from your computer.
Recover Deleted SMS on iPhone with Third Party Apps
If the previous methods did not work, we will use third-party tools. There are many different applications, but there is no guarantee that all SMS will be recovered.
According to discussions on the forums, there are several programs that have earned a good reputation among users.
- Tenorshare iPhone Data Recovery;
- PhoneRescue by iMobie;
- WonderShare Dr.Fone for iOS.
SMS messages and iMessage, even after deletion, remain in the iPhone's memory. As long as they are not overwritten, they can be restored using these utilities. Therefore, the operation should be carried out immediately after deleting any SMS message.
