@Lucia Guillory hi i need help getting back messages I just accidentally deleted today

[@HeferCat]

@Lucia Guillory Would he appreciate you posting his info online describing him as and recommending customers to him under the title of a hacker? It's illegal, sooooooo..... I'll guess no. Unless it's youuuuuu, in which case----tighten up.

[@anthonynicholas3387]

I actually figured my boyfriend worked extra shift which originally he won’t cos of his health and I needed to contact neutralhack001@ gmail .com for immediate assistance... this is not a joke, I had access to his WhatsApp without his phone and get to see deleted messages

[@jasonasbury4588]

I think you need to learn the difference between "recover" and "backup"......

[@hamnahasi2898]

Today I accidentally deleted a very important business text with contract details. I downloaded sms Backup & Restore App, followed step by step instructions and that text and all related files were restored. Thanks Jessica!

[@hamnahasi2898]

[@kirklogan3414]

@@hamnahasi2898 Did it restore them back to your phone or on the computer?

[@avidforlife]

I did that, but it didn't restore the message thread I had accidentally deleted PRIOR to installing the app.

[@Sam.G79]

This doesn't work. It only backs up current messages, not the ones I deleted before app installation. Will you please explain this? Why does it not retrieve previously deleted messages?

[@sageartchannel3363]

The title and what you say is different. What if I deleted already and I don't have the app on my phone? You don't explain that.

[@joeharley9046]

Let's be clear. This software is a backup software for your current messages. It will not recover any messages prior to you installing this.
