However, fear not, as there are several methods you can use to retrieve deleted messages on your Google Pixel. This article will guide you through the process step by step.
1. Check the trash or recycling bin
The first place you should check for deleted messages is the trash or recycling bin on your Google Pixel. Similar to a computer, your device has a built-in trash bin where deleted messages are temporarily stored. To access it, follow these steps:

4. Scroll down and tap “Trash” or “Recycle bin” (the name may vary depending on your device’s settings).
5. Look for the deleted messages and tap the “Undo” button to restore them.
2. Use Google Drive
If you have enabled Google Drive backup for your Google Pixel, you may be able to recover deleted messages from there. Here’s how to do it:
1. Open the Google Drive app on your device.
2. Tap the three lines in the upper-left corner to open the menu.
3. Select “Backup and sync.”
4. Under “Back up device,” make sure that “Messages” is enabled.
5. Tap “Manage backups” and then “Messages.”
6. Look for the date and time when your messages were last backed up.
7. Tap the date and time to view the messages.
8. Tap the “Download” button to save the messages to your device.
3. Use a third-party data recovery app
If the above methods don’t work, you can try using a third-party data recovery app to recover deleted messages on your Google Pixel. Some popular options include:
– Dr.Fone – Data Recovery (Android)
– EaseUS MobiSaver
– DiskDigger
These apps can scan your device for deleted messages and recover them. However, be cautious when choosing a data recovery app, as some may contain malware or adware. Always download from a reputable source and read reviews before installing.
4. Contact Google Support
If all else fails, you can contact Google Support for assistance. They may be able to help you recover deleted messages from your Google Pixel. To contact Google Support, follow these steps:
1. Go to the Google Support website.
2. Select “Get help” and then “Messages.”
3. Choose your issue and follow the on-screen instructions to contact support.
Remember, the sooner you attempt to recover deleted messages, the better your chances of successful recovery. Additionally, regularly backing up your messages and other important data can help prevent future data loss.
