All these methods work well on all iPhone models, including iPhone 13/13 Pro/13 Pro Max, iPhone 12/11, iPhone XS (Max)/XR, iPhone X, iPhone 8/7/6s/6 Plus, iPad Pro, etc.
Way 1: How to Recover Recently Deleted Voicemail on iPhone
When you delete a voicemail on your iPhone, it’s not gone forever. Instead, it moves into a Deleted Messages folder, similar to the trash or the recycle bin on your computer. You can undelete voicemail and move it back to the regular Voicemail inbox. Please note how long the deleted voicemails remain in the Deleted Messages folder depends on your carrier.
To undelete voicemail on your iPhone, you can simply follow these steps:
- Open the Phone app on your iPhone and tap the “Voicemail” icon in the bottom right corner.
- Scroll down and tap “Deleted Messages” if you have recently deleted voicemails that can be restored.
- Select any voicemail you want to restore and tap “Undelete” to restore the deleted voicemail back to the Voicemail inbox.
Way 2: How to Recover Permanently Deleted Voicemail on iPhone
What if the deleted voicemails don’t appear in the Deleted Messages section, or you clear all your deleted messages and permanently remove them from your iPhone? Don’t worry. You can use a third-party data recovery tool to recover permanently deleted voicemail on your iPhone. Here we recommend MobePas iPhone Data Recovery. Besides voicemail, it also supports recovering deleted iPhone messages, contacts, call history, photos, videos, WhatsApp, notes, voice memos, and much more data.
Here’s how to recover deleted voicemail on iPhone without backup:
Step 1: Run MobePas iPhone Data Recovery on your computer and choose “Recover from iOS Devices” mode.
Step 2: Connect your iPhone to the computer using a USB cable. Wait for the program to detect the device.
Step 3: Select “Voicemail” or any other data you wish to restore and click “Scan” to begin the scanning process.
Step 4: After the scan, you can preview all recoverable voicemails and choose those you need, then click “Recover to PC” to export and save them on your computer.
Way 3: How to Retrieve Deleted Voicemail from iTunes Backup
iTunes offers you the opportunity of backing up your iPhone data including voicemails, which you can restore anytime you wish. If you have previously backed up your iPhone to iTunes before losing voicemail, you can use the backup to retrieve deleted voicemail on your iPhone. But you should know that all existing data on your iPhone will be totally replaced with the iTunes backup files.
To recover deleted voicemail from iTunes backup, follow the steps below:
- Launch iTunes on the PC or Mac on which you’ve backed up your iPhone.
- Connect your iPhone to the computer and click on the device icon.
- Click on “Restore Backup” and then select the iTunes backup that you want to restore.
- Click on “Restore” and ensure that your iPhone is connected until the restore is completed.
Way 4: How to Restore Deleted Voicemail from iCloud Backup
If you have regularly backed up your iPhone with iCloud, a backup of voicemails along with other data should be made. Then you can use the backup to recover deleted voicemail on your iPhone. However, the problem with iCloud backup is the same as that of iTunes. You can’t recover only deleted voicemail and restoring a backup means losing all your present data and settings on your iPhone.
To recover deleted voicemail from iCloud backup, follow the steps below:
- On your iPhone, go to Settings > General > Reset and choose “Erase All Content and Settings”.
- Follow the onscreen instructions until it gets to the App & Data section, then choose “Restore from iCloud Backup”.
- Log in to your iCloud account and select the backup that you intend to restore. The restoration should start immediately.
- Leave your iPhone connected to a network and wait for the restore process to complete.
