The Essential Guide to Restore Your Deleted iPhone Text Messages

Deleting text messages on iPhone may be the ideal way to free up the memory space. Your iPhone might be running low on space or that Apple releases the latest iOS version and to install it, you need some free space. The less you have, the more time you’ll spend managing the internal or external storage.

To free some space, once and for all, you utilise an optimisation tool to clean up the junk folders; however, it may also delete your critical text messages as well in the process

Analyse what’s eating up the internal memory?

Let’s look at an example. WhatsApp requires 70.5 MB of free space to download it and at that period of time, you don’t have enough space. You cannot uninstall your Facebook app or any other applications as they are not the only apps clogging up your space.

Prior to installing a new app, you need to check what’s consuming your internal memory and then clean the cached data. To do so, follow this path:

For iPhone®: Settings > General > Usage > Manage Storage

It’s a habit to delete old or useless text messages and there is a likelihood that you may accidentally or unintentionally delete some critical ones as well. To make matters worse, you didn’t have the recent backup of your files either on iTunes or iCloud Backup Files either.
