A little while ago, a very interesting new tweak called Undelete SMS appeared in Cydia that allows iPhone users to recover some deleted SMS from the terminal. This is, if I'm not mistaken, the first tweak of this kind available in Cydia and the way it works is similar to that of programs that search for information through iTunes backups. Practically, Undelete SMS can recover any deleted SMS, but only if the respective data has not been overwritten or if there is a backup in iTunes that can be restored to our terminal. The tweak will not work in the case of SMS deleted a long time ago that were probably overwritten by others, so you must do the recovery quickly to be sure that the SMS can be read again.
The SMS are displayed as text of course and can be copied in any application we want, but the important thing is that the information can be read again. Undelete SMS is available for $8.99 in Cydia, a rather high price but which may be worth it for some users.
Delete an important text? Need to get it back? Undelete SMS scrapes your SMS database or Spotlight history for deleted records and recovers them! Displayed in plain text, you can copy the texts you want and stick them in a note, email, etc.
Note: Undelete SMS is a forensic recovery tool, and is not guaranteed to recover all or any deleted content. Undelete SMS analyzes remaining deleted data that has not yet been overwritten by new data. While Undelete SMS can often produce useful results from an actively used phone, or backup restored from an actively used phone, it will not produce results on a freshly restored phone without a backup. Depending on user behavior, Undelete SMS may retrieve varying levels of data, including possibly no data. Undelete SMS is a utility, and not a guarantee.
