Did you enable Google backup service on your Android phone? If yes, you can recover deleted text messages from Android from Google Drive. This feature ensures that your messages are safely stored in Google Drive and can be restored to your device or a new device during the setup process.
1. Before resetting your device, ensure you have a backup available in Google Drive. Go to Settings > Google > Backup to see if SMS messages are included and when the last backup was made.
2. This step is drastic but necessary if you want to restore your data from a backup. Go to Settings > System > Reset options > Erase all data (factory reset). This will erase all data on your device, so proceed with caution.
3. After the reset, follow the on-screen instructions on your device to set it up. When prompted, choose to restore data from a Google Backup. Make sure to select the backup that contains your messages.
4. Once your device is set up and the data restored, check your messages app for the recovered texts.
