How to Retrieve Deleted Text Messages on Android
Did you accidentally delete an important text message on your Android phone? If so, you can try to recover your message using Samsung Messages, a Google One backup (if you have one), or a third-party method. We'll show you the available ways.
What Are My Options for Recovering Deleted Texts on Android?
Depending on your phone's features and whether you created a backup prior to losing your messages or not, you have a few options for performing a recovery.
If you have a Samsung or another phone that has the Trash (or Recycle Bin) feature, in most cases, you can restore deleted messages within 30 days of removing the messages. This should be your preferred recovery option.
In case your phone doesn't offer that feature, but you made a Google One backup before you lost your messages, simply restore the backup, and all your SMS and MMS messages will be back. Be warned that this involves a factory reset, but a reset is good for optimizing your phone's efficiency anyway.
If you forgot to make a backup, all hope is still not lost. There are several Android message recovery apps on the market, and you can use one or multiple of these apps to try and potentially recover your text messages.
