Can I get deleted voicemails back on iPhone?

Recovering deleted voicemails on an iPhone can be done in several ways, depending on various factors like how they were deleted and your backup habits. Here’s one effective method:

1. Go to the Phone app, then to the Voicemail tab.
2. Scroll down to find the ‘Deleted Messages’ section.
3. Tap on ‘Deleted Messages’ and review the list of voicemails.
4. Select the voicemails you wish to recover and tap on ‘Undelete’.

If ‘Deleted Messages’ aren’t available, another method involves restoring from an iCloud or iTunes backup:

1. Ensure your recent backups include the missing voicemails.
2. Factory reset your iPhone (Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings).
3. Restore your iPhone from the relevant backup during the setup process.

Ensure you understand the implications of data loss from other areas before initiating a factory reset.

As someone who has navigated the ordeal of recovering deleted voicemails, here’s a more technical guide reflecting varied solutions. Voicemails can sometimes be retrieved if you act quickly and have the right systems in place:

Instant Recovery: From ‘Deleted Messages’ Folder
1. Open the Phone application and go to Voicemail.
2. Scroll to and select ‘Deleted Messages’.
3. Identify the voicemails you wish to recover.

Alternative Recovery: iTunes or iCloud Backup
1. Ensure a recent backup includes the voicemail.
2. Go to Settings > General > Reset, then select ‘Erase All Content and Settings’.
3. During the setup, choose ‘Restore from iCloud Backup’ or ‘Restore from iTunes Backup’.

Using Third-party Tools
There are multiple paid applications like iMobie PhoneRescue which offer functions to recover various types of data.

Patience is key. Trying different methods and ensuring that you systematically backup your voicemails in the future can save you from anxiety.

In my experience, recovering deleted voicemails may sometimes require professional tools or support. Here’s what I did when I had to retrieve some critical messages:

I directly contacted my mobile carrier’s customer support. Many service providers keep copies of your voicemail for a certain period. They were able to help me restore the missing messages which were not appearing in my ‘Deleted Messages’ folder. It might take a few calls and requests, but if those messages are crucial, it’s definitely worth pursuing this route.

Indeed, it can be frustrating to lose vital voicemails. From personal experience, retrieving them without a backup can be challenging. One method is via third-party software specifically designed for data recovery on iOS devices. When I faced a similar issue:

1. I used software like Dr.Fone – Data Recovery, which scanned my iPhone for deleted files.
2. Follow the software’s instructions to connect your iPhone and start the scan.
3. Review the recovered items and specifically look for the deleted voicemails.

These tools generally aren’t free, so be prepared for potential costs.

If you’ve recently deleted a voicemail, you might still be able to find it in the ‘Deleted Messages’ section of your voicemail inbox. Navigate to the voicemail tab, scroll to the bottom, and check if the deleted voicemails are listed there. If they are, you can restore them directly from that folder.

There’s a way to recover important voicemails using external recovery services and tools. I once used FoneLab to recover my lost data, including voicemails. Here’s how I did it:

1. Download and install FoneLab on your computer.
2. Connect your iPhone to the computer using a USB cable.
3. Launch FoneLab and select “Recover from iOS Device”.
4. Follow the prompts to scan your iPhone for deleted files.
5. Browse through the recovered data and find your deleted voicemails.

This tool provided a user-friendly interface and was relatively quick in terms of recovery time, though it did require a purchase.
