Part 1. What May Cause You Accidently Deleted Text Messages?

There are three major reasons I can think of which can cause your deleted text messages.

  1. Factory Reset. We usually do this due to touchscreen problems, apps crashing, device issues like can’t make or receive calls, and other functional problems. Performing this is very critical because it removes all settings and data in our devices, including text messages. So do this only if absolutely necessary and make sure that you’ve made a backup first.
  2. Phone Crash. This happens very rarely and usually comes without warning. It could be triggered either by a virus or simply a hardware malfunction. Nonetheless, it does happen and can delete text messages as well.
  3. Accidental Deletion. We love to send and receive text messages in bulk until our conversation had become too heavy. We then have to delete some to clear more space and we oftentimes do it carelessly. We just realize afterward that we had deleted text messages which are dear to us. This is the common mistake the most of us do.

But have you heard people say that lost data is not lost at all? That they don’t disappear from your computer when you delete them? Yes, it is definitely true. All those data are hidden somewhere waiting to be recovered or replaced. The same case happens with our Android devices.

Everything we lost, including deleted text messages are saved in the virtual space until some time passes by or space is needed to store other data during an app update or file download. So if you have accidentally deleted text messages from a Samsung device, you have to act immediately to avoid losing them permanently. And if your Samsung is broken, you also have the chance to restore deleted text messages from a broken Samsung phone.

Part 2. How to Avoid Losing Deleted Text Messages Permanently

Because deleted text messages can be overwritten, you have to do the following actions to still recover them:

  • Stop using your Samsung device until the deleted text messages have been recovered.
  • Try to recover the deleted text messages the soonest time possible. It is because the longer they remains unrecovered the harder it will be to recover them and the higher the chance that they will be overwritten.

It sounds scary if this will going to happen to anyone and that could be you. Fortunately, technology nowadays makes our lives so convenient. It provides several ways to never lose precious data particularly your deleted text messages. The simplest way possible is to regularly backup your text messages. There are two options to do this, either by Gmail cloud or a trusted software.

  • Backup with a Gmail account. Please take note that you need to have a Gmail account to do this backup. Simply install the SMS Backup+ app from Google Play store for free. Open it and continue on the backup process. Just make sure that you had supplied all the necessary information and did the required actions. You can then tell the app which data to backup and you’re all good.
  • Backup with a software program. This method requires you to do the backup on a computer but is also easy to follow. Just be confident that you had selected a trusted provider as there are many hoax programs offered to scam you. Read on reviews available online to guide you which program to choose. Don’t worry about the technicalities because there are usually easy-to-do guides on how to run the program.

But what if when you are about to backup your data, including your text messages, yet suddenly your Samsung device got broken? A double headache right? You need not only to find ways how to recover your deleted text messages from a Samsung device but also know how to do it with a broken Samsung device. But worry no more because a group of software experts has developed the best program to offer you the right solutions for Android data recovery even with a broken device.
