Hey everyone,
I wanted to see if there was a way to recover deleted messages off an iPhone that wasn’t backed up? My phone never backed up or on iCloud for some reason and I had messages that I wanted to keep that my kids deleted. Any way to recover them?
 
It is the owners responsibility to make sure they have backups. I would never just trust the cloud and also do an iTunes backup weekly. You should have confirmed that your device was backing up nightly to the cloud.

Once deleted it is gone.
 
Right now, for me the best way to recover deleted text messages from my iPhone is to check my iPad or my Apple Watch
