Accidentally I deleted all conversation with a contact. Can I get the messages back?

Will they hide somewhere in my android phone? Can I use any software to get them back?

 

I just want to delete one message. 😞

a third party app FonePaw android data recovery is a PC-based application that can find deleted, old text messages from Android phone memory and get them back.

 

Never tried it myself but have heard good things about it.

 

A professional data recovery service may be able to restore lost data.

 

I don't mean the Geeksquad-type guys in a laptop/cellphone repair shop who'll run a bunch of hit-or-miss "professional" data recovery software. You could run that stuff yourself, and you'll probably get the same "sorry, we only got some of it back" or "sorry, it's all gone forever" results.

 

I mean the guys in a forensic data shop who'll use lasers and microscopes to read (copy) logic bits directly off the nvflash substrate before running data reconstruction software. A surprisingly inexpensive (largely automated) service, though the chips themselves would be destroyed and need replacement so it's only worthwhile if the data is more valuable to you than the device it's stored on.

 

If you're serious about recovering data from any machine then the first thing you should do to maximize chances of success is to power the thing off and stop using it. The more it gets used, the more "empty" (deleted but not actually erased) memory cells get overwritten with new data.

Yes,  you deleted one message and they are all gone cos text are usually shown as "chat" mode.

 

Your best bet would be from Google Backup.

 

there are other paid software for recovery, but they might not work that well (and  good ones are not free)

 

You other way to get back important text is contact the other party of the contact.   If he has kept all the text, then you  might ask him to forward you back.

@Woody1  Oh darn it!

 

Public Mobile cannot do anything on their end, unfortunately.

 

Does this help you?
