Can I recover deleted text messages
android? Well
yes, you can! There is always that chance of a small slip of mind where you
suddenly delete something important and realize it after the deed has been
done. Sometimes we do it with the best intentions in mind only to realize you
mixed something up. There was a time I needed space to install an app on the
Google play store, so I started scrolling through my Android device’s file
manager and suddenly saw a folder named “mob”. On checking the size of the
file, I saw it was holding less than 100MB. Immediately I opened it and saw it
contained hidden files. Seeing as I needed the space, I swiftly deleted the
folder. Later that day I opened ‘Road warriors’ a game on my smartphone and
realized all my saved progress was gone. I later surfed the internet for
various steps to recover android phone data, the important thing I learned was
that the file was gone. This is because as soon as you delete a file, your Android
device does not delete it instantly. Instead, it waits for you to add new data
on the phone so that the new file can overwrite the data.

same goes for text messages. There are some text messages that contain vital
information that there is no thinking what would happen if it is lost. This
