This gives you three ways to do it:

Also, you can Google "retrieve deleted text from iphone" and get several third party apps to do it.

The earlier, the more likely you'll be able to retrieve them.

Thanks Cole. After looking at her phone records online I can see that she's been texting this guy constantly and for a lot longer than I suspected. I don't think I really care what they said anymore. I'm done with this shit. Why do they think they can do this? Like it's no big deal? 15 years of marriage down the tubes!!! How can it be worth it to her???

That sucks, platypus. It does make me wonder, though: Do cheaters get any smarter, or are they always this dumb? I mean, surely they know the other spouse can check phone records.

I don't know, with social media and all the ways people communicate, you would think they would be brighter. It's good they aren't, but still.

Phone records among other things is what started making me suspicious. If you see a bunch of texts to someone , yet on the phone they keep deleting and hiding them that's a sign. My wife knew I looked at phone records so she bought an iPod and downloaded a program called pinger where she could send texts back and forth on a wireless network and I would not be able to see them. She hid the iPod from me altogether. One day I saw it and tried to open it and it wAs password protected. I woke her up at 2 am asking her what is this and why it's password protected and to open it up and she refused. Said I was crazy .. Next day she wipes it completely clean to show me there's nothing on there and I'm crazy !!! We argue about it constantly. Finally she wipes it clean and gives it to me and says you can have it she don't want it it's causing too much problems between us. I said cool because I've been reading and there are programs that can recover anything you have ever done on there even if you deleted it. I come home from work next day iPod is gone. She said she was playing with it in the bathroom , and it fell on the tile floor and broke, so knowing all the problems that it has caused between us she drove up to a pond and thru it in !!! But I'm crazy right ??

Wow. The lying gets so much more painfully elaborate, doesn't it?

Oh wait...do they know they are lying, or are they in the mystical fog they talk about?

Did the fog make her throw the ipod in the pond? Please.

Sorry you're dealing with stupid crap like that.

Where was this info 3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,13,14 years ago when I needed proof he had been cheating for all of out marriage?? Oh Well...what's done is done :)...I really hope you find what you are looking for Plaatypus64.

I was able to recover some deleted text messages from an iPhone though not all of them. You do it with the programs in Coles post, Dr Phone or tenor share. But for you to scare the shit out of her just say Ok those text were innocent ? I want to see for myself and plug her phone into your computer. Goto ITunes a do a full backup of her phone it takes like 10 minutes. Tell her you are sending that backup to a place that will send you back every text she's ever written on it and does she have anything she wants to tell you first? Once you do that you don't need her phone those programs get the information from the backup. I did her iPhone one day and got a bunch of text messages.
Be careful though the even the threat of that and my wife supposedly threw her iPod in a pond !!

You can also:

1. Restore previous iPhone backup (to before you deleted the messages):

Or

2. Recover messages straight from your iPhone:

Back up I phone first..

You can see other kinds of texts also

It's quiet interesting

On www.teensafe.com you can even look at websites visited deleted texts group texts accounts Instagram and there's a few others you can look in their contact list and you can look up their contacts so just saying, there is someone's name as JS you with the button to look up and it'll show you what city do you live in and you have the ability to get more information than that.

If you are going to these lengths, don't you already have the answer you need?

Apparently if someone needs to get questions answered they don't already know ... As you well know, CS's lie
Well I guess that was my point ... They lie, it's only fair to be fully informed of how bad it really is... Or isn't

Ah technology. It's a beautiful thing. It makes cheating easier while simultaneously making it easier to detect.

Anyhoo, your gut is probably telling you all you need to know. In my humble opinion it's the only thing you need but it probably wouldn't hurt to get some proof when you're hammering out a divorce settlement. Much of this stuff isn't admissible but sometimes it can be used as a scare tactic.

If you use any one of the suggestions or just google it you can probably get the answers you seek but please keep in mind that once you see it, you can't un-see it. You might want a lawyer or PI to do the digging and keep the info in a safe place and away from your viewing.

Good luck dude.

I have a Samsung Galaxy 6 anyway I can do this as well, my husband's infidelities unfortunately. He has an HTC

Install thie app uknowkids or if she has a Verizon phone account install the Verizon messaging app on your phone but when you set it up put her number in it. Then you'll get all her texts but you will have to borrow her device for a few minutes before when you set it up they text the phone number you want to receive texts from with an activation code

You can also check the phone bill and look up who she calls how long she talks to them and what hours of the day then take that info and search Facebook with any name or number you get if she has Facebook messenger her contacts should be synced so check under people

You can also go on her Facebook and look under settings and find activity log
It'll show you every comment post hidden posts she doesn't want anyone to see every person she searched for and her locations if she enabled that
