8 Easy Ways to Retrieve Deleted Text Messages on Samsung

Losing important text messages can be frustrating, especially if you need to reference them later. You can retrieve deleted text messages on Samsung by using the built-in feature called "Messages Backup" which automatically saves your messages to Samsung Cloud.

To use this feature, you need to have a Samsung account and enable the auto-backup option in your Messages settings. This way, your messages will be saved every hour and can be easily restored if needed.

If you didn't enable auto-backup, you can try using a third-party app like SMS Recovery or EaseUS MobiSaver to scan your device for deleted messages. These apps can recover deleted messages from your Samsung device's internal storage or SD card.

You can recover deleted SMS messages on Samsung via Google Drive backup if you've enabled Google One Backup. Deleted messages can only be recovered if they were included in the last backup before deletion.

To recover messages from Google Drive, access the "Settings" menu and select "Accounts and backup". Then, click on "Back up data" beneath Google Drive and verify the time of the most recent backup.

If you've enabled Samsung Cloud backup, you can recover deleted SMS without a factory reset. However, messages deleted before the backup won't be retrievable.

You can also recover deleted messages by using the Samsung Messages app's recycle bin, which stores deleted messages for 30 days. To access the recycle bin, open the Samsung Messages app, tap the three-dot icon, and select "Trash".

If you've backed up your messages using the SMS Backup & Restore App, you can restore them by selecting the Restore button, choosing the backup files containing the text messages you wish to get back, and ticking the messages list you want to get back.

It's worth noting that data backups are one of the easiest device tasks to do and can save time and headaches. Preinstalled cloud solutions like Samsung Cloud and Google One make your life easier. Backups with Samsung Cloud and Google Drive require an internet connection, which can cost you money if you're not on Wi-Fi.
