Go to General and choose the Reset option. 3. Tap Erase All Content and Settings and confirm your choice by clicking the Erase Now button. 4.

Way #2: Selectively Retrieve Deleted Text Messages from a Backup. In some territories, text messages are selectively backed up to iCloud, just like photos and calendar appointments. iPhone users in the supported territories can read text messages from any device by signing in to icloud.com. If you're among the lucky ones, you need to do the following: 1. Open the Settings app. 2. Tap your name and select iCloud. 3. Turn off Text Messages and select Keep on My iPhone. 4. Turn Text Messages back on and select the Merge option. 5. Wait for the deleted text messages to download to your iPhone. Solution #3: Retrieve Deleted Text Messages from a Finder Backup (macOS Catalina or newer). Hopefully, you’ve been regularly backing up your iPhone to your computer. If that’s the case, you can now retrieve all deleted text messages using iTunes. So, the steps are: 1. Connect your iPhone to your Mac. 2. Launch Finder and select your iPhone under Locations. 3. Click the Restore Backup button in the General tab. 4. Pick the most relevant backup. 5. Enter your password if asked and click Restore. Way #4: Use Data Recovery Software to Recover Deleted Text Messages on iPhone. There's a very high chance you didn't have a backup. But don’t worry, there’s a good chance that you’ll still be able to get them back, but only if you don’t hesitate too much. A data recovery application like Disk Drill for Mac can find deleted and lost text messages on your iPhone and recover them for you with a few clicks. So, the steps are: 1. Download and install Disk Drill from the official https://www.cleverfiles.com website. 2. Connect your iPhone to your Mac. 3. Launch Disk Drill and initialize a free scan by clicking the Recover button next to your iPhone. 4. Go through and preview the deleted and existing text messages. 5. Select the ones you want to undelete. 6. Click the Recover button and get your texts back. Way #5: Contact Your Carrier and Ask for Help. Some (but certainly not most) carriers allow their customers to recover deleted texts from online account management portals. #iPhoneDataRecovery #iPhone #iOS
