Recover Deleted Messages

Someone deleted a message before you could read it? Recover deleted messages from your chats, see what was unsent, and read new messages unseen, with no blue ticks. Everything stays private on your phone.

The app keeps a copy of every message that arrives in a notification. If the sender deletes it later, your copy stays readable and is marked "Deleted by sender". No root needed.

How message recovery works
After you allow notification access, the app saves the text and photos your chat apps show in their notifications, and builds a searchable notification history of your conversations. If you also allow access to the media folder, it copies new media and statuses from that folder only. It never reads your chats or backups, breaks encryption or sends your messages anywhere.

Good to know
• Only messages received after setup can be saved. Messages deleted before you installed the app cannot be recovered.
• Messages are marked as deleted in chat apps that report the deletion in their notifications. In other apps, your copy simply stays readable.
• Muted chats, hidden notification previews and messages that arrive while that chat is open on screen create no notification, so they cannot be saved.
• Videos and voice messages are copied once your chat app downloads them. Letting it download media automatically keeps more.
• Some phones stop apps in the background. Letting the app run in the background keeps saving reliable.
