How can I retrieve deleted text messages from iPhone without backup on Windows 11?
If there is no iTunes or iCloud backup, it is still possible to recover deleted text messages on iPhone. However, you should use iPhone data recovery software to find the deleted messages. This is your last option for this task.
I did this a few weeks ago and successfully retrieved the deleted messages from my iPhone 15 with iOS 18:

Hope this helps!
If you've ever synced your messages with iCloud, you might have a shot there. Go to your iCloud settings and see if "Messages" is turned on. If it's synced, your messages might still be hanging out in the cloud, ready to retrieve deleted text messages on iPhone.
Sometimes your carrier has a backup of your texts too, especially if you have a plan that includes message history. Give them a call and explain the situation. They might be able to retrieve your texts or at least show you if they have any records. If you can live without them for a bit, just chill. Sometimes when deletes happen, the data isn’t immediately wiped. It gets marked as “available to be overwritten,” but until you start using your phone like crazy, those messages might still be floating around in the ether. So, try using your phone as little as possible until you’ve considered your options.
