How to Remove Recently Deleted Messages on iPhone

If you’ve accidentally deleted messages on your iPhone and want to remove them from the Recently Deleted folder, you’re in luck. Apple has made it relatively easy to permanently delete these messages. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to remove recently deleted messages on iPhone.

Step 1: Open the Messages App

First, open the Messages app on your iPhone. This is where all your text messages, iMessages, and multimedia messages are stored.

Step 2: Access the Recently Deleted Folder

Once the Messages app is open, swipe down from the top of the screen to reveal the search bar. Type “Recently Deleted” in the search bar and select the folder that appears.

Step 3: Select the Messages You Want to Delete

Inside the Recently Deleted folder, you’ll see a list of all the messages you’ve deleted in the past 30 days. To remove a specific message, tap on it to select it. If you want to delete multiple messages, you can tap on each message you want to delete while holding down the “Select” button.

Step 4: Delete the Messages

After selecting the messages you want to delete, tap on the “Delete” button at the bottom of the screen. A confirmation prompt will appear, asking if you’re sure you want to delete the messages. Tap “Delete” again to confirm.

Step 5: Permanently Delete the Messages

Once the messages are deleted, they will be moved to the Recently Deleted folder. To permanently delete them, go back to the Messages app and tap on the “Edit” button in the top-right corner. Then, tap on “Delete All” and confirm the action.

Precautions

– Remember that once you delete messages from the Recently Deleted folder, they are permanently removed from your iPhone and cannot be recovered.
– If you’re trying to remove recently deleted messages from a specific conversation, you can do so by opening the conversation and swiping left on the message you want to delete. Then, tap on “Delete” and confirm the action.

By following these simple steps, you can easily remove recently deleted messages from your iPhone and keep your Messages app organized.
