How can you see recently deleted calls on iPhone?
If you’ve ever accidentally deleted a call on your iPhone and are now wondering how to retrieve it, you’re not alone. Many iPhone users have faced this issue and are looking for a solution. While Apple doesn’t provide a direct way to view deleted calls, there are several methods you can try to recover this information. In this article, we’ll explore some of the most effective ways to see recently deleted calls on your iPhone.
Check the Recently Deleted Folder
One of the simplest ways to find recently deleted calls is by checking the “Recently Deleted” folder in the Phone app. This folder is designed to store deleted items temporarily, giving you a chance to recover them before they are permanently removed.
1. Open the Phone app on your iPhone.
2. Tap on the “Recents” tab at the bottom of the screen.
3. Scroll to the bottom of the screen and tap on “Recently Deleted.”
4. You should now see a list of deleted calls. You can tap on each call to view details or swipe left on a call to delete it permanently.
Please note that the “Recently Deleted” folder only stores deleted items for a limited period of time, usually 30 days. After this period, the items are permanently deleted and cannot be recovered using this method.
Use a Third-Party App
If the “Recently Deleted” folder doesn’t contain the deleted call you’re looking for, you can try using a third-party app designed to recover deleted data on your iPhone. These apps can scan your device for deleted calls and other data, allowing you to recover them with a few taps.
Here are some popular third-party apps you can try:
1. Dr.Fone – Data Recovery (iOS)
2. iMyFone D-Back
3. Tenorshare iCareFone
To use these apps, follow these general steps:
1. Download and install the chosen app on your computer.
2. Connect your iPhone to your computer using a USB cable.
3. Open the app and select the type of data you want to recover (e.g., Calls).
4. Follow the on-screen instructions to scan your iPhone for deleted calls.
5. Once the scan is complete, you should see a list of deleted calls. Select the calls you want to recover and tap on “Recover” to save them to your iPhone.
Backup and Restore
If you have an iCloud or iTunes backup of your iPhone, you can restore your device from the backup and potentially recover the deleted calls. This method is more time-consuming and may result in data loss if you have made changes to your iPhone since the backup was created.
Here’s how to restore your iPhone from a backup:
1. Connect your iPhone to your computer and open iTunes.
2. Select your iPhone and click on the “Summary” tab.
3. Click on “Restore Backup…” and choose the backup you want to restore from.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions to restore your iPhone from the backup.
Please note that restoring from a backup will erase all data on your iPhone, including the deleted calls. If you want to recover the deleted calls only, consider using a third-party app or the “Recently Deleted” folder before restoring from a backup.
In conclusion, while there’s no direct way to see recently deleted calls on your iPhone, you can try checking the “Recently Deleted” folder, using a third-party app, or restoring from a backup. Choose the method that best suits your needs and follow the steps carefully to recover your deleted calls.
