A lot of iPhone users are looking for ways to retrieve iMessages after accidentally deleting them. iMessage is a great service designed by Apple that lets you send text, photos, videos, contacts, and group messages between iPhones, iPads, or iPod touches running iOS 5 or later, and Macs running OS X Mountain Lion or later. The problem is, due to iOS upgrades, sync failures, or human error, some users may accidentally delete or lose their iMessages. In such cases, iPhone iMessage recovery software can be very helpful.

A guide on how to retrieve iMessages from an iPhone

As an iPhone user, you must know that when you sync it with iTunes, it will first back up everything on your iPhone. In this case, it's quite warm when you lose iMessages from your iPhone. The bad thing is the backup file is not a regular file type but SQLite db files which don't allow previewing or accessing. Sometimes, for privacy and security, it can be encrypted. However, with the help of a 3rd-party iPhone iMessage recovery tool, you can extract and view it.

For iPhone iMessage recovery tool, I would recommend using MobiSaver. On one hand, it allows you to extract and export iMessage from iTunes backup with just two simple steps: scan the backup file – preview and export the deleted iMessages. On the other hand, it also supports scanning your device directly to recover deleted iMessages without any backup file.
