So, you’ve accidentally deleted some important iMessages from your iPhone and now you’re wondering if there’s a way to retrieve them from iCloud. The good news is that Apple provides a way to recover deleted messages for up to 30 days. In this article, we’ll walk you through the process of restoring those precious messages from iCloud.
Step 1: Accessing the Messages App
The first step in recovering deleted iMessages from iCloud is to open the Messages app on your iPhone. This is where all your conversations are stored, including the ones you may have deleted accidentally.
Step 2: Locating Recently Deleted Messages
Once you’re in the Messages app, navigate to the conversation list. Here, you have two options to find your recently deleted messages. You can either tap on “Edit” in the top-left corner and then select “Show Recently Deleted,” or you can directly access the “Recently Deleted” folder.
Step 3: Selecting Messages for Recovery
Now that you’ve located the recently deleted messages, it’s time to select the conversations that contain the messages you want to recover. Simply tap on the conversations to choose them.
Step 4: Initiate the Recovery Process
With the desired conversations selected, tap on the “Recover” option. This action will start the process of restoring the deleted messages back to your iPhone from iCloud.
Step 5: Confirming Message Recovery
After initiating the recovery, you may receive a confirmation message to ensure that you indeed want to restore the selected messages. Confirm your decision to proceed with the recovery process.
Step 6: Restoring Messages from iCloud
Once you confirm your choice, iCloud will begin the restoration process. This may take a few moments, depending on the number of messages being recovered.
Step 7: Verification of Recovered Messages
After the restoration process is complete, you will be able to verify that the deleted iMessages have been successfully recovered and are now back in your Messages app.
Step 8: Completing the Recovery Process
With the messages safely restored, you have now successfully recovered your deleted iMessages from iCloud. You can now access and view them just like any other message on your device.
Conclusion
Accidentally deleting important messages can be a stressful experience, but thanks to iCloud’s features, recovering them is a straightforward process. By following the steps outlined in this guide, you can retrieve your deleted iMessages and ensure that no precious conversations are lost forever.
