recover deleted messages on android

It can happen through a false manipulation on our smartphone that we delete an important message, whether it is a sentimental message, a meeting place, or the summary of an important meeting. Whatever the reason, it has all happened to us before. Do not panic, you should know that this operation is not irreversible because the messages (and all of your data) are temporarily stored on a Cloud to which it is possible to have access. We will explain in this article how to access it and thus recover these deleted messages on your Android smartphone.

Recover deleted messages on Android with PC / MAC software

To perform this operation, you will need to download software. We have tried 3, which work very well, and which differ in a few points. Before downloading, you will need to have a USB cable to connect your Android smartphone to your computer, and perform a small manipulation, called USB debugging that will allow you to have more control over your smartphone. We explain this to you in the next section.

Enable USB Debugging on your Android smartphone

USB debugging on Android

What is USB debugging? This setting available in your Android smartphone allows you to unlock advanced options in order to have access to more settings on your Android smartphone. So you have more control, but there is a risk, and that is why the telephone operators block this by default. Because by having access to more options and more sensitive files on your phone, you will also be able to unintentionally delete sensitive data from your device compromising its proper functioning. So be careful when you enable this option.

To do so, simply follow the following steps:

  • Go to " settings From your Android smartphone.
  • Click on " about the phone« 
  • Once in this menu, you will have to press 7 times on “ Build number "(You have to press repeatedly because this avoids performing the manipulation by mistake if you were in this menu)
  • You will see the words " you are now a developer“, A little nod from the manufacturers implying that you now have access to sensitive files on your phone.
  • Once done, go back, a new option appeared just above the "about phone" tab, " developer options“, Click on it.
  • In this menu, you will see the option " USB debugging“, Click on it, and you're done.

Once this manipulation on your Android smartphone is complete, you can connect it to your PC by USB.
