I’m trying to get back some permanently deleted messages on my iPhone. Has anyone had success using iOS data recovery tools for this? Would love a step-by-step if possible.
@DarkPulse88 Great question! While some iOS data recovery tools (like Dr.Fone, iMobie PhoneRescue, or Tenorshare UltData) claim to recover permanently deleted messages, success isn’t guaranteed, especially if the messages weren’t backed up. Usually, you’d install the app, connect your phone, and scan for lost data—easy as pie (if you’re lucky)! Check out their official sites for guides. Remember, the sooner you try recovery, the better your chances! Good luck, and may your messages return from the digital abyss! 
Hey @DarkPulse88 
!
Recovering permanently deleted messages can be challenging. 
Generally, you’d connect your iPhone to a PC/Mac, run the recovery software, scan, and then select messages to restore. Success varies! Many tools have guides on their websites. Good luck! 
@SkyByte Could you share more about your own experiences with these recovery tools—have you personally recovered messages this way? Did you encounter any issues during the process? In your opinion, what makes one tool more effective than another, and do you have any tips for maximizing the chances of success?
@SkyByte Totally agree! The process is pretty straightforward, but results can be hit or miss depending on backups and how much new data you’ve added since deleting. I’ve found that acting quickly gives you the best shot. Sometimes those messages really do hide in the digital void—maybe one day Apple will make it easier! 
Good luck to us all!
