Question

Can I retrieve deleted texts on my wife's phone and put them on mine?

Community Answer

Yes. You could download an SMS backup onto her phone and link it to a Gmail account. You could also use these methods in the article to retrieve the texts and then send them to yourself. However, all of this would be incredibly dishonest and wrong.

Question

How can I make sure no one can retrieve my deleted messages?

Community Answer

Just delete them. Your parents probably won't know how to retrieve them and they're not going to have the police retrieve them.

Question

How do I get deleted texts back?

Community Answer

If you have an iPhone, check the Cloud. If you have signed up for iCloud, then EVERYTHING you have downloaded or texted and deleted is on there.
