If you need to recover deleted texts on a Samsung Galaxy phone, chances are you deleted them by accident.
Perhaps you thought a text message chain was spam, but it turns out the message was legit and pretty important. Maybe you fell out with a friend or split up with a partner and deleted their texts in anger, only to have made up since.
Whatever the reason, Samsung Galaxy devices are some of the best phones around and, as such, offer you a way to recover your deleted text messages from the trash bin. Even better still, it’s incredibly easy to do — although you might miss it if you don’t know where to look.
Something to be aware of is your Galaxy phone will only store deleted text messages in the trash bin for 30 days, at which point they’re gone permanently. So, if it’s been longer than that since you deleted the messages in the first place, they’re lost for good.
If not, here’s how to recover deleted texts on a Samsung Galaxy phone.
