Imagine scrolling through your realme messages and realizing that a crucial conversation has vanished - deleted by mistake while clearing storage or chats. Panic sets in, but before despair takes over, know this: it's possible to restore lost messages safely without damaging other data.

This guide dives into how to retrieve deleted text messages on realme GT, Number, C, Neo, and Narzo Series using 4 applicable approaches - from hidden backups to clever third-party tools - giving you a lifeline for your lost digital memories.

Part 1: How to Recover Deleted Text Messages in realme with Google Messages for Web

Requirements or Considerations:

• You must be using Google Messages as your default SMS app.
• The conversation must have been archived, not permanently deleted.
• Your Google Messages app must still be installed and synced.
• You must still have access to the Google account linked to Messages (if backup/sync is enabled).

How to Recover?

• Open Google Messages for Web on a computer > Go to messages.google.com/web and sign in (or reconnect your phone).
• Check if the conversation still appears > Sometimes deleted messages on the phone may still show in the web session if it hasn't refreshed yet.
• Search the conversation list > Use the search bar to look for the contact name, phone number, or keywords from the message.
• Check Archived Chats on Web > Open the menu and select "Archived" to see if the chat was archived instead of deleted.



• Keep the Web tab open if the messages appear > Avoid refreshing or signing out, as this may sync the deletion.
• Screenshot or copy the important messages > Save the content manually, since the Web cannot restore data back to the phone.
• Sync your phone again after saving > Once messages are preserved, you can safely refresh or reconnect.

Part 2: How to Retrieve Deleted Text Messages on realme Using Google Drive

Requirements or Considerations:

• SMS backup must have been enabled BEFORE deletion.
• The backup must show "SMS Messages" included with a valid date.
• You must remember the Google account used for backup.
• You must be willing to factory reset the realme phone to restore the backup.
• A stable internet connection is required during the restore.

How to Recover?

• Check if SMS Backup Exists > Go to Settings > Google > Backup and confirm "SMS Messages" is listed with a recent backup date.
• Back Up Anything New First > Save your current photos/files elsewhere, because the next step erases the phone.
• Factory Reset the realme Phone > Go to Settings > Additional Settings > Backup & Reset/Reset options > Erase all data (Factory reset).



• Restart and Sign In > After reset, sign in with the same Google account used for the backup.
• Select "Restore from Google Backup" during setup > Choose the backup that shows SMS Messages included.

Part 3: How to Recover Deleted SMS on realme Phone via Mobile Carrier

• You must verify your identity with your account details or ID.
• You may need to submit a formal request or legal documentation, depending on the carrier policy.
• The messages should be recent, as some carriers purge old records.
• Some carriers may charge a fee, especially if a formal request or detailed transcript is required.

How to Recover?

• Contact your carrier's customer support (via phone, chat, or store visit) and explain that you want to retrieve deleted SMS messages.
• Provide account verification details such as phone number, name, ID, or PIN so they can access your records.
• Ask whether they store SMS content or only logs - some carriers keep message metadata (date/time/number), while a few may temporarily store message content.
• Request recovery or a transcript (if available) and specify the date range, phone numbers involved, and message type (SMS).
• Check any fees, privacy rules, or legal requirements since some carriers only release data with a formal request or court order.
• Wait for the carrier's response or report, as processing time may vary depending on their policy and your country/region.
