Deleted a text message by mistake? Lost an important conversation on the mobile phone? Or maybe someone who pranked you, deleting all your messages. Well, there’s good news for you, you can recover accidentally deleted messages on your Android device.
This action is not an accurate term when it comes to computers / mobile phones or other devices, such as those that have a memory. When we erase from memory the actual data is stored in memory, you just lost your address/location. We do not lose data that will be overwritten to something there. Therefore, be sure to perform the recovery process as soon as it is discovered that an important message is on the device, as it is likely that the place where the message is stored in memory can be overwritten at any time. It is better not to install any applications/updates or changes to the device memory, once accidentally delete a message, and instead, follow these steps to retrieve deleted text as soon as possible.

Although text messages are not so important to me to recover, but just for testing purpose, someone suggested me Android Data Recovery software called “Stellar Data Recovery for Android”. Main purpose was to recover my photos that were accidentally deleted. I was skeptical at first, so to test the software I thought of recovering my not so important deleted text messages and it worked pretty well. I don’t know if you know about that software, but I appreciate the thorough breakdown of the data recovery process and the software’s features of wondershare. Great Content!
