How can I retrieve deleted text messages from iPhone without backup on Windows 11?
- Aug 28, 2025
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!
Retrieving deleted text messages from iPhone without a backup can be challenging, as Apple does not provide a straightforward way to recover deleted messages without one. However, you can try the following methods to see if you can recover your lost texts:
1. Check Your Other Devices:
If you use Messages on other devices (like an iPad or Mac), check those devices. Sometimes deleted messages are still available on those devices if they synced before deletion.
2. Reinstall the Messaging App:
If you are using an alternative messaging app (like WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, etc.), check if those apps have a backup feature or a way to restore messages.
3. Consult Professional Data Recovery Services:
If the messages are very important, you can consider consulting with a professional data recovery service. Note that these services can be expensive and may not guarantee success.
Please remember that recovery is not guaranteed, especially without backups, and it’s always advisable to routinely back up your iPhone data to prevent future data loss.
