How to Retrieve Deleted Text Messages on iPhone 13 Without iCloud Backup

Losing important text messages can be a frustrating experience, especially if you do not have a backup of your data. Fortunately, there are ways to retrieve deleted text messages on your iPhone 13 without an iCloud backup. In this article, we’ll explore some of the methods you can use to recover deleted text messages on your iPhone 13.

Method 1: Check the Recently Deleted Folder

The first and easiest method to recover deleted text messages on iPhone 13 is to check the Recently Deleted folder. The Recently Deleted folder is a built-in feature in the Messages app, which stores all deleted text messages and iMessages for up to 40 days. If you have just deleted your messages, here is how to access the Recently Deleted folder and recover them:

1. Open the Messages app on your iPhone 13.
2. Tap on the Edit option in the upper left corner of the screen.
3. From the new menu, select “Show Recently Deleted.”
4. Under the “Recently Deleted” page, you will see all the available deleted conversations and the remaining days of deletion. Select the conversation that you want to retrieve then tap on the “Recover” option. If the conversation is more than 40 days old, it won’t be available in the recently deleted category.
5. The conversation will be removed instantly. Now check for that conversation under all the messages categories.
