If you don’t have iCloud or iTunes backups available, third-party apps offer one last resort to try recovering text messages from a lost iPhone.Īpps like iMyFone D-Back and EaseUS MobiSaver can extract text messages from an iPhone backup extracted from iCloud or your computer. This works even without the iPhone itself. You can also use these apps to recover deleted text messages from an existing iPhone if needed.
Other tools like iSkysoft Toolbox – iOS Data Recovery claim the ability to extract some data directly from a lost iPhone.
This would require physical access to the lost device. While sometimes effective, third-party iPhone data recovery apps don’t always work perfectly and should be used with caution.
