How to Recover deleted Text Messages from Android on Windows 11 computer?
If you want to recover accidentally deleted text messages on your Android phone on Windows 11 PC without using third-party tools, here are two possible methods:
Recover via Google Account: If you previously enabled the SMS backup feature on your Android device, your Google account may have backed up your text messages.
- Open your Android phone settings.
- Click the "Google" option.
- Go to "Backup" and check if there is a backup of your text messages.
- If there is a backup, you can try to recover the deleted text messages by restoring the backup.
Use the built-in recovery function of your Android device: Some Android devices may have built-in data recovery functions, especially some brands such as Samsung, Huawei, etc.
- Check if there is a "Backup and restore" or similar option in your phone's settings menu.
- Follow the instructions provided by the device to see if you can restore to the state before deleting the text messages.
It should be noted that if the backup function is not enabled, it may be difficult to recover deleted text messages, because the Android system usually does not retain access to data that the user actively deletes.
In addition, if you continue to use the device after deleting the text messages, the deleted text message data may be overwritten by new data, which will make recovery more difficult or impossible. Therefore, it is very important to try to recover as soon as possible.
