Way #1: Use Your iCloud Backup to Recover Deleted Text Messages.
Important note: Be careful ❗️ This method requires you to restore your iPhone to its factory settings. If that sounds like too much of a hassle to you, we recommend you check out the other solutions further in this video.
Steps to recover:
1. Open the Settings app.
2. 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. Follow your phone’s instructions until you see the Apps & Data page.
5. Choose Restore from iCloud Backup.
6. Sign in to iCloud.
7. Choose the most recent backup that contains the deleted text messages from the list of available iCloud backups.
8. Wait for the recovery process to finish.
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 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.

I cant get out messages back so thats f’d
Thank you so much. I never deleted any of my text messages so don’t know why they suddenly disappeared. The only thing I did to my iPhone recently, was an iOS 14.4.2 software update. Your 2nd set of instructions appears to have done the job and I seem to have recouped the majority if not all my missing text messages. Thanks again 🥰

I just had no time for that. This is a really adult and mature way to go about it so thanks again. Blessings to you!!!

After you clicked disable and download messages. Did you have to wait a certain time? It didn’t say if it was finished or not and then can’t find messages anywhere. After you did step 2 were the messages in your texts or in a different area?

My messages had all disappeared randomly. When I went to settings and turned on the messages to be included in a iCloud backup and turned off all the stuff that i didn’t want to be in a backup they all reappeared and it said they were being saved to iCloud storage . I think it’s because I had used to much space or something. Thanks for this video bro!🙏
