Open your Android phone settings. Click the "Google" option. Go to "Backup" and check if there is a backup of your text messages. If there is a backup, you can try to recover the deleted text messages by restoring the backup.
When you delete a message or conversation, it's moved to the Recently Deleted folder. You can view and recover items in the Recently Deleted folder for up to 30 days. After 30 days, the messages are removed from all your devices. After 40 days, the messages are permanently deleted from iCloud.
The good news is that deleted text messages may not be permanently gone. If you enabled Google Drive backup in Messages, you may need to factory reset your Android phone to retrieve deleted text messages on Android. If none of these recovery solutions work, there are third-party Android recovery programs available.
In the United States, there is no set time limit for how far back text messages can be subpoenaed from phone companies or iPhones by the FBI. The government can subpoena past records going back as far as they exist. Most phone companies keep records for 1-2 years.
There is no specific phone number or code to recover deleted messages on most mobile devices. Once messages are deleted, they are typically not recoverable through a direct dialing process. However, some messaging apps offer built-in features or backup options for recovering messages.
When you delete files from iCloud Drive or On My [device] in the Files app, they go into your Recently Deleted. After 30 days, your files are permanently deleted.
