3 Text Message Recovery Tools

 

Who hasn’t experienced the irritation of losing or accidentally deleting text messages? Thankfully there are a number of pieces of kit that can help iPhone owners recover apparently-lost data. Let’s look at three of the very best.

 

Aiseesoft FoneLab 

A full-featured desktop data retriever capable of running on both Windows and Mac OS, Aiseesoft boasts recovery for 19 different file types, including contacts, SMS messages, music and videos. The software itself is light, fast and user-friendly. 

 

Wondershare Dr. Fone

Capable of retrieving lost data from iPhone, iPad and iPod touch, Wondershare also lets you back up iTunes data in iCloud, so even if you lose your phone, you can still recover precious data. The program keeps you safe whether you are still running an otherwise-antiquated iOS or the latest iOS 8. That means full security for phonebook contacts, MMS and SMS messages, videos, memos, calendar, notes, call history, camera roll - even Safari bookmarks can be recovered. The tool automatically scans for all types of file, and you can even preview lost iPhone/iCloud data before you opt to recover. Handily, this feature can be tested on the free version - but you won’t be able to actually retrieve data until you pony up for the full version. 

 

iSkysoft iPhone Data Recovery

This all-inclusive app specializes in data recovery in the event of system failures, whether due to updates, cybersecurity breaches or physical damage to the phone itself. For comprehensive, forever-protection, this is the tool. If you accidentally erase data, or find that your phone is blocked, iSkysoft will fix the issue. From the standard file types relating to pictures, text messages, call history and contacts, to external app data recovery (including WhatsApp conversation history), this application is capable of recovering them all. A professional data recovery tool, it can scan your card in-depth to find as many files as possible. You can preview all files in the start window before performing the actual recovery.
