This can involve simple word translations, or it could be the translation of entire paragraphs or articles.

In the translation process, factors such as context, grammar, vocabulary selection, and cultural differences need to be taken into account to ensure the accuracy and appropriateness of the translation.

Many of us have lost Telegram messages due to bugs, accidental taps, or glitches. Losing important work-related texts or personal data can be devastating. But worry not. Is it possible to recover them? Yes, it is.

Today, we will discuss 3 methods to retrieve deleted Telegram chats on iPhone. But before we proceed with the steps, let's first look at why your chats might have disappeared.

Why did the chat disappear?

There can be several reasons why messages in Telegram might disappear. Here are some possible causes:

One reason could be that you were removed from the chat by another participant. Another possibility is that the Telegram chat was deleted. Additionally, you or someone else might have accidentally deleted your chat history, or it could be due to some error or malfunction.

Regardless of the reason, if you're unsure why your chat history is missing, you can contact Telegram's customer support for more information.

Moreover, you can follow this guide to recover your Telegram data. There are three methods available to restore lost or deleted Telegram messages.

How to recover chat history on an iPhone?

Recovering conversations from Telegram on your iPhone isn't too difficult, especially if you have a backup. You can get your text messages back in just a few minutes using one of the following three methods.

Tip: If you just deleted a chat and want to get it back, you can also tap "Undo." However, this only works for recently deleted conversations, and the option will disappear after a few seconds.

Method 1: Recover chat history from an iCloud backup.

This is the easiest recovery method and is recommended for users who have the iCloud backup option enabled.

Next up, we just need the translation into American English:

Here are the steps to restore chats using an iCloud backup:

Step 1: Open the “Settings” app on your iPhone, then tap “General.”

Step 2: Next, tap on “Reset,” then choose “Erase all content and settings.”

Step 3: After your iPhone restarts, tap “Restore from iCloud Backup” and choose the backup you want to restore.

Step 4: Wait for the process to complete. You're all done! Your Telegram messages should now be restored.

Notice: Before you proceed with the above steps, you need to have an iCloud backup. If you don't have any available iCloud backup, I suggest using the method below.

Method 2: Recover chat history from an iTunes backup.

Well, you can also use an iTunes backup to restore your chats. But, this method takes quite a while, and you can only recover the messages that were in the backup.

Please follow these steps to recover your data:

Step 1: First, connect your iPhone to your PC or Mac and launch iTunes/Finder. Next, click on the iPhone icon in the top left corner and select your device.

Step 2: Next, tap Restore Backup.

Step 3: Now, select the backup you want to restore. I recommend choosing the latest backup that contains all your chat history.

Step 4: Wait for the recovery process to complete.

Step 5: Your chat history should be restored shortly.

Note: You will need an iTunes/Finder backup to do this. However, if you don't have a backup, I recommend trying the method below.

Common questions about recovering chat history on an iPhone

Here are some popular questions about Telegram chat recovery on iPhone. Maybe you can find your answer below.

1. Can I recover deleted messages from Telegram?

Yes, you can recover deleted messages from Telegram. The process isn't complicated and should take no more than 10-15 minutes to restore your chat history. I recommend using a backup for the quickest recovery, but you can also utilize tools like MobiSaver to retrieve chats without a backup.

2. Can you see deleted messages on the Telegram app for iPhone?

No, you cannot view deleted messages on the iPhone version of Telegram. Once a message or chat is deleted through Telegram, it cannot be viewed or retrieved directly. However, you may be able to restore them from a backup, or undo the deletion immediately after it happens.

3. How to access Telegram's cloud storage? To access Telegram's cloud storage, you first need to install and register for the Telegram app. Here are the steps: 1. Download and install Telegram: On your mobile device, search for and download Telegram from the Google Play Store (for Android devices) or the App Store (for iOS devices). For desktop users, you can download the version suitable for Windows, Mac, or Linux from their official website (https://telegram.org/apps). 2. Register for a Telegram account: After opening the app, follow the instructions to enter your phone number and receive a verification code via SMS. Once verified, set up your username and password. 3. Access Telegram Cloud: By default, your chat history and media files are saved in the cloud on Telegram. You can access them as follows: - In the main chat interface, tap the "Chats" tab at the bottom to view and browse conversations with contacts. - To search for specific files, tap the magnifying glass icon in the top right corner, then enter keywords in the search bar. - To find saved files, look in the "Files" section. At the top of the chat interface, tap the "Files" tab, and select the relevant conversation. 4. Upload to Telegram Cloud: To upload files to Telegram's cloud, simply tap the plus sign (+) icon in any chat, choose "Send File" or "Take Photo/Video," and select the file you wish to upload. Please note that Telegram provides free cloud storage space to users, but the exact capacity may vary depending on usage and time.

You can only access by installing the app on a new device. stores your encrypted data, which means you can access it from any device where you're logged in. So, to keep your messages, you can send yourself a "saved message," and then log in on a different iPhone to save it to the cloud.

4. What happens when you delete a message on Telegram? When you delete a message on Telegram, it is removed from your device and usually from the chat for other participants as well, depending on the deletion options you set. Here's what typically occurs: - **Single-user chat:** If you delete a message in a one-to-one chat, the message will be removed from your chat history, and the other person will be notified that a message was deleted (unless you use the "Delete and Hide" option, which removes the message without notification). - **Groups or Channels:** In a group or channel, deleting a message gives you the choice of "Only Me" (meaning only you won't see the message) or "Everyone." If you choose "Everyone," the message is removed from all members' chat histories. However, if others have already seen or forwarded the message, deleting it won't remove it from their devices. - **Time Limits:** Telegram also offers a "Self-Destruct Timer" feature, which lets you set a timer for messages to automatically delete after a certain time. In this case, the message will disappear automatically from all participants' devices according to the set time. Keep in mind that once a message is deleted, it might not be recoverable unless it was backed up before deletion. Additionally, if someone took a screenshot of the message before it was deleted, they can still retain its content.

Once you delete a message, the recipient won't be able to see what you wrote, unless they were looking at the notification when it was sent. However, if the chat history in Telegram is missing, the other person might have deleted the entire chat.

5. Does Telegram have a history?

By default, Telegram saves your chat history on your device. Moreover, once you add new members to a group, you can allow them to view the chat history. You can also toggle between hiding and showing the chat history. Just go to "Info > Edit > Chat History for New Members."

Conclusions

With these guidelines, you can recover deleted Telegram messages on your iPhone. Two of the methods require that you have a backup. However, if you don't have a backup, I recommend using the MobiSaver tool. It offers a user-friendly interface and multiple data recovery capabilities.

You can download MobiSaver from their website, and it takes about a minute to install. And it took me about 10 minutes to recover all of the chats. Just plug in your iPhone, scan for the deleted chats, and start the recovery process.
