However, it is possible to accidentally delete call history on an iPhone, causing inconvenience. This article will introduce several common recovery methods to help recover deleted call history on your iPhone, regardless of whether or not they were backed up.
To recover deleted call history on your iPhone, you have a few options to try. Here are the steps you can take:
Please note that this method will erase all the current data on your iPhone and replace it with the data from the backup. So, ensure you have a recent backup before proceeding.
Step 1: Go to the Settings app and select "General". Scroll down and tap on "Reset", then choose "Erase All Content and Settings".
Step 2: Follow the prompts to complete the reset. Select "Restore from iCloud Backup" after resetting, and choose the relevant backup that contains the call history to restore.
After that, your call history should be restored.
If you regularly back up your iPhone using iTunes on your computer, you may be able to recover the deleted call history from an iTunes backup. However, this method will also erase the current data on your iPhone.
Step 1: Connect your iPhone to the computer which has the iTunes backup of your iPhone.
Step 2: Launch iTunes and select your iPhone in the iTunes interface. Then click on "Restore Backup" under the "Summary" tab.
Step 3: Choose the appropriate backup that contains the deleted call history and click "Restore".
Wait for the restoration process to complete. Once finished, the call history on your iPhone should be recovered.
If you don’t have an iCloud or iTunes backup, you can try using third-party data recovery software, such as iSunshare iOS Data Recovery. This tool is designed to recover various types of data from iPhones, iPads, or iPod Touch, including call history. Download the software and follow the instructions to scan and recover your deleted call history.
Step 1: Launch the software. Use a USB cable to connect your iPhone to your computer, and ensure that you have iTunes installed on your computer.
Step 2: Choose "Recover from iOS Device". And click on the "Start Scan" button to begin scanning your iPhone for deleted or lost data.
Step 3: After the scanning is complete, you will see a list of recoverable files. Select the "Call History" you want to recover. Then click on the "Recover" button. Choose a location on your computer to save the recovered call history.
Step 4: Once the recovery process is complete, you can access the call history from the specified location on your computer.
If you have accidentally deleted call history on your iPhone, one of the most efficient methods is to use iOS Data Recovery software, which can scan, preview, and recover the deleted call history from your iPhone. Another option is to restore your deleted call history from an iCloud or iTunes backup. However, this method will erase all the data on your iPhone and replace it with the backup data.
