How to See Recently Deleted Messages on iPad
Have you ever accidentally deleted a message on your iPad and wished there was a way to recover it? Worry not, as there is a method to view recently deleted messages on your iPad. Whether you are using an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, you can easily access the Recently Deleted folder to find messages you thought were gone forever. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to see recently deleted messages on your iPad.
Step 1: Open the Messages App
First, open the Messages app on your iPad. This app is typically located on your home screen and features a speech bubble icon.
Step 2: Navigate to the Recently Deleted Folder
Once the Messages app is open, tap on the “i” icon located in the top-right corner of the screen. This will open a menu with various options. Scroll down and tap on “Recently Deleted.”
Step 3: View Deleted Messages
The Recently Deleted folder will display all the messages that have been deleted within the past 30 days. You can scroll through the list to find the message you are looking for. The messages will be displayed in reverse chronological order, with the most recent message at the top.
Step 4: Restore Deleted Messages
If you find the message you want to recover, simply tap on it. A menu will appear with two options: “Copy” and “Restore.” To recover the message, tap on “Restore.” The message will then be moved back to your conversation history, and the deleted message will be removed from the Recently Deleted folder.
Step 5: Clear the Recently Deleted Folder
If you no longer need to keep the deleted messages, you can clear the Recently Deleted folder. To do this, go back to the Messages app, tap on the “i” icon, and then tap on “Recently Deleted.” Next, tap on the “Edit” button in the top-right corner of the screen. Select all the messages you want to delete permanently by tapping on the circular checkboxes next to them. Finally, tap on “Delete All” to remove the messages from your iPad.
By following these simple steps, you can easily see and recover recently deleted messages on your iPad. Remember that the Recently Deleted folder is a temporary storage for deleted messages, and the messages will be permanently deleted after 30 days. So, it’s important to check the folder regularly and restore any important messages you may have deleted by accident.
