Unpleasant situations sometimes arise out of the blue in life. For example, I mistakenly deleted a message from my phone that contained important information. It's good that I quickly found a way to recover deleted SMS, which I want to share with you.
Most programs for the exchange of text messages (SMS) do not provide any way to restore them if necessary. However, this does not mean that they disappear without a trace. Similar to how it happens in Windows with deleted files, they can be restored as long as they have not been overwritten by other data. Therefore, we do not waste time and follow these instructions.
Install Dr. Fone for Android on your computer (Windows or Mac). It is designed to recover deleted data (contacts, messages, call logs, photos, documents) on Android devices. Please note that in the free version, the program will only show you the deleted data, but to restore them, it will ask you to purchase the full version. Since I just need to find out information from the destroyed message, then this suits me.
After starting the program, connect your smartphone to your computer. Before that, you need to enable USB debugging on your smartphone. This procedure may differ slightly depending on the version of Android you have installed. After connection, Dr. Fone for Android will detect the mobile device in most cases and, if necessary, install the correct drivers. Then you need to check the boxes which data the program is to search for. This will help reduce scan times.
At the next stage, the root will be installed on the smartphone. For the program to work, you need superuser rights, so Dr. Fone for Android will automatically root your device. After restoring data, the program will return the gadget to its original state, so you don't have to worry about losing the warranty.
Next, Dr. Fone for Android will scan the memory of the connected smartphone. The duration of this process depends on the amount of data available on the device. In my case, the scan took about 10-15 minutes. As a result, the program displayed a list of deleted SMS and their content, which I needed.
Dr. Fone for Android will be useful if you inadvertently deleted some data, and will help you recover it. But it is better, of course, not to bring things to such a scenario and make backups in advance. Since this article deals specifically with text messages, I would like to recommend the SMS Backup & Restore utility. She knows how to create backups of correspondence in the device memory or in the cloud service, works on a schedule and is completely free.
