When you erase a text message on an iPhone, it is simply marked as "deleted", to be overwritten with new messages later. Decipher TextMessage finds those deleted messages and shows them to you in a simple, searchable interface.

To recover deleted iPhone text messages:

  1. Download Decipher TextMessage.
  2. Run Decipher TextMessage and click the "Recover" button in the upper left corner of the window.
  3. Search and sort through your recovered messages.
