Hello Chompie,

Thanks for using our app and i am truly sorry for the delay reply due to the forum update issue.

Our PhoneRescue for iOS can help recover lost messages back from iOS devices directly, iTunes and iCloud backup. Would you please refer to detailed instructions below to recover deleted data?

Meanwhile, we would like to tell you that we design our PhoneRescue for iOS to let customers scan & preview their deleted content prior to purchase. If PhoneRescue for iOS can scan messages you lost, it can help you find them back. If not, it cannot help you find them back because your data has been overwritten. In this case, sorry but not only our PhoneRescue for iOS but also any other iOS data recovery software won’t help on this issue.

If the free version doesn’t scan your wanted data, please do not purchase the pro version.  I am truly sorry for PhoneRescue fails to help you this time. It will be appreicated for your generous forgiveness.

If you have any questions or problems, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Thank you for your generous support and kind understanding in advance.

Best regards,

Dorothy
