Have your precious data deleted by mistake? It must be heartbreaking! Wondering whether there is a possibility to undelete text messages?

Don't panic! After you understand how deletion works, you will come down.

Tricks You Should Know about How Deletion Works

I guess most of us don't know exactly how it works on mobile devices. Actually, it's not a complicated procedure. When you delete a file like a text message, it isn't erased from the system, or at least it won't be immediately.

Your mobile device just simply marks the deleted file as inactive. That's to say, it becomes invisible and replaceable. On the other hand, it can be also recovered if use a proper tool to help you.

To avoid the deleted file be replaced by new data, you'd better stop using your phone after it is deleted or lost.

1 How to Retrieve Deleted Text Messages

I will show you the quickest way on recovering deleted SMS from an Android phone. If you are an iPhone user, you can try to retrieve lost data from an available iCloud/iTunes backup or turn to an iPhone SMS recovery tool for help when you don't have a backup. But please keep in mind that restoring an iCloud or iTunes backup means all current data on your iPhone will be replaced entirely by the data from the backup. Therefore, I suggest using a third-party tool which can selectively recover data from the backup or device.

DataKit Android Data Recovery is a professional Android data recovery program which can save you time and energy from recovering lost texts on the Android phone. It's fully compatible with Samsung, HTC, LG, Sony, One Plus, Google, and many more brands.

Except for messages, the software also supports the recovery of contacts, photos, videos, audio, call logs and documents. The best part is no tech-knowledge is required for the recovering process that everyone can do it alone.

Go through the simple tutorial and recover your deleted text messages right now!

To begin with, you should download DataKit Android Data Recovery on your PC/Mac. You will have 30-days free trial period.

Step 1 Run the software on your computer. Then connect your Android phone to the computer with a USB cable.

Step 2 You will have three options to choose from. Select Android Data Recovery on the interface of the software.

Step 3 Enable USB debugging on your Android phone if you haven't enabled before. It's easy to do it:

For Android 2.3 or older, Navigate to Settings - Applications - Development - USB Debugging.

For Android 3.0-4.1, go to Settings - Develop Options - USB Debugging.

For Android 4.2 or newer, go to Settings - About Phone - Tap the Build Number about 7 times until "You are a now a developer" appearing.

Step 4 Choose Messages from the table. And click Next to go on.

Step 5 The program needs to gain the privilege to access your Android OS and scan deleted data deeply. It will root your phone by installing a root app after taping Allow/Authorize/Grant on the screen.

Step 6 The software starts to scan deleted data from the device then. After finished, select the recoverable items and click Recover.

Now you have your lost text messages back! I strongly advise you to do backups frequently though. You can download our Android backup and restore program to help you simplify the backup process.
