How to See Recently Deleted on iMessage
Deleting messages on iMessage can sometimes be a mistake, especially when you realize that the deleted message contained important information. If you’re wondering how to see recently deleted messages on iMessage, you’re in luck. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you retrieve those deleted messages and ensure that you don’t lose any crucial information.
Step 1: Open the Messages App
The first thing you need to do is open the Messages app on your iPhone. This is where all your iMessage conversations are stored, including the ones you’ve deleted.
Step 2: Access the Recently Deleted Folder
Once the Messages app is open, tap on the “Edit” button located in the upper-left corner of the screen. This will bring up a menu with several options, including “Delete All” and “Recently Deleted.” Tap on “Recently Deleted” to view the messages you’ve deleted in the past 30 days.
Step 3: View Deleted Messages
After selecting “Recently Deleted,” you’ll see a list of all the messages that have been deleted from your conversations. Scroll through the list to find the message you’re looking for. Once you find it, you can tap on it to view the content.
Step 4: Restore Deleted Messages
When you find the deleted message you want to restore, tap on the “Info” button (the “i” icon) located next to the message. This will bring up a menu with various options, including “Copy,” “Forward,” and “Restore.” Tap on “Restore” to undelete the message and return it to your conversation.
Step 5: Confirm the Restoration
After tapping “Restore,” a confirmation prompt will appear. Make sure that you want to restore the message before confirming, as this action cannot be undone. Once you confirm, the deleted message will be returned to your conversation, and you’ll be able to view it as if it was never deleted.
Remember that the “Recently Deleted” folder only keeps deleted messages for 30 days. After this period, the messages are permanently deleted from your device. To ensure that you don’t lose any important messages, it’s a good idea to regularly check the “Recently Deleted” folder and restore any messages you still need.
By following these simple steps, you can easily see and restore recently deleted messages on iMessage. No more worries about losing important information or regretting a deletion!
