Hi can anyone tell me how I can retrieve deleted txt messages on an IPhone 5 that have not been backed up. I have someone being vicious towards me and need my messages as evidence. I'm really desperate to be able to retrieve these messages.
Thanks

If you have not backed up your texts messages, they will be lost.

 

Text messages are not stored on the network.

I hope everything works out for you.  I wish I could have said something more positive.

There are specialist services that claim to be able to recover deleted text messages that have not been backed up and a Google search will show them.

 

Just how successful they are I don't know but a few posts on the official Apple forums indicate that recovery is possible, they are quite expensive so it would depend if the value of the message to you would justify the cost.

It is easy for iPhone users to delete text messages by mistake or just lose them because of other reasons. It is easy to restore deleted iPhone messages with backup on iTunes or iCloud. However, very few users know how to retrieve deleted text messages from iPhone without using backup. Actually this is possible and quite easy with the help of a data recovery app. If you want such an app, I would recommend you iOS Data Recovery.

if you lost your iPhone data by mistake, you couldn't find them on your phone. But when you try iPhone Data Recovery, you can scan and find out from iPhone directly. You should have a try. To get back your lost data, such as photos, videos, contacts, and other data.

OMG, it is really unfortunate for you. I hope you can smoothly find your deleted text messages. How about having a look at this 3 Best Methods to Recover Deleted Messages from iPhone X? I have already gotten help from it.

It is easy to recover deleted messages on your iPhone,  I had a similar experience before and got those deleted files back successfully using TunesKit iPhone Data Recovery. It is capable of retrieving up to 20 kinds of data on your iPhone. What you need to do is taking three easy steps: choose data recovery mode, scan and preview the lost data, select and recover the desired files.
