Step-by-Step Guide to Retrieve Deleted Text Messages on Android Device 1. **Enable Google Backup:** Before attempting to recover deleted messages, ensure that you have enabled Google Drive backup for your text messages. Go to your Android phone's settings, then find and tap on "Backup & reset." Make sure "Back up my data" is turned on, and "Auto-backup for apps" is set to "On." This ensures that your messages are backed up regularly. 2. **Connect to Wi-Fi:** To download the backup, you'll need a stable internet connection. Connect your Android device to a Wi-Fi network. 3. **Factory Reset Your Phone (Optional):** If you haven't backed up your messages recently and they're not in the recent backups, you might need to perform a factory reset. This will erase all data on your phone, so make sure to back up any important files first. Remember, this step is only necessary if you haven't enabled or performed a backup recently. 4. **Set Up Your Phone Again:** After the reset (or if you didn't need one), set up your phone as new, following the on-screen prompts. When asked to sign in with your Google account, use the same account you used for backups. 5. **Restore Backed-Up Messages:** During the setup process, Android will prompt you to restore your data from the backup. Ensure "Messages" is checked in the list of apps to restore. Complete the setup, and your messages should be restored. 6. **Use Third-Party Apps (If Above Steps Fail):** If the above method doesn't work, you can try using third-party recovery apps. Some popular options include: - Dr.Fone - SMS Recovery - DiskDigger - tools MobiSaver for Android Download and install the app of your choice, follow their instructions to scan for deleted messages, and then recover them. 7. **Contact Your Carrier:** If all else fails, contact your mobile carrier. They may be able to provide message history, especially if the messages are from an ongoing billing cycle. Remember, the chances of recovering deleted messages decrease over time, so act quickly. Also, not all messages may be recoverable, depending on the circumstances and the methods used.
