How to recover deleted text messages using MobiKin Doctor for Android
After installing the program on your PC and connecting the device, you will be prompted to allow MobiKin access to your phone. Within a few seconds, you should see a preview of your text messages on the MobiKin main screen, and recovering the data and backing it up onto your PC should be instantaneous. The screenshots below illustrate how the software works.
- Step 1: Once you plug in your phone, this screen will automatically appear. It will detect your device, connect to it and let you know when the process is ready to start. You can also see from the screen that MobiKin can be used for Android SD Card Recovery and as a Super Toolkit.
- Step 2: Once it is connected, your phone’s data will be displayed, such as model, system version etc. and you will be given the choice of what kind of data you want to retrieve. As you can see from the screenshot below, you have several options of things to recover: contacts, photos, messages, call logs, photos, videos, audio, and documents. Select ‘Messages’ and click Next.
Your data will be retrieved in a few moments and will be displayed as shown in the screenshot below. Here we have selected all the categories but if you’ve only selected ‘Messages’, you will only see that section.
- Step 3: Choose to only display deleted items (in case you have a ton of messages), which is easier for filtering. Either select each individual message or you can select them all by ticking the checkbox in the top bar. Next, select Recover to retrieve the lost or deleted data.
- Step 4: Once your data is recovered, you will be asked to save it directly to your PC. Choose or create a folder where you want your messages to be saved.
