How to Retrieve deleted Voicemail on iPhone: 3 Ways

Dr.Fone - Data Recovery (iOS) is a software that has been rolled out by Wondershare, which has been received worldwide acclaim and has received acknowledgment from Forbes magazine several times. This software will provide you with a gallery of all your current and deleted voicemails, and you can select the ones you want to restore, no hassles at all! As such, it is completely reliable software with which you can gain access to all your deleted voicemails.

Method 1: Recover deleted voicemails directly from the iPhone.

This method is ideal for those who don’t have a backup to the voicemail in either iCloud or iTunes. This process scans your iOS device and then displays all your deleted voicemails in a gallery.

Step 1. Connect iPhone to the computer.

Access Dr.Fone on your computer and choose Recover from the features. Connect iPhone to computer via cable.

Step 2. Recover from iOS Device.

You’ll find three recovery options, choose ‘Recover from iOS Device.’

Step 3. File Type.

You’ll get a catalog of all the different types of files you can recover. Choose ‘Voicemail’ and then click on ‘Start Scan.’

Step 4. Retrieve deleted voicemail.

Finally, you can wait as the scan completes. You’ll then be able to view all your deleted voicemails in a gallery. Select the ones which you want to restore, and then click on “Restore to Computer.”

Method 2: Recover deleted voicemails via iCloud backup.

You can go for this method if you think you have the voicemails you need in your iCloud backup. You might be wondering, “why not retrieve it directly from iCloud?” That’s because iCloud doesn’t allow you to access and restore files individually, so if you download the iCloud backup to your iPhone, you’ll lose all your present data. Using Dr.Fone as a medium to access your iCloud backup ensures that you can select only the voicemails you want to restore and not everything else.

Step 1. Recover from iCloud backup files.

When faced with the recovery options, choose “Recover from iCloud backup files.” Enter your iCloud details.

Step 2. Choose the backup you need.

Choose the iCloud backup you want to go through and then click on ‘download.’ This process may take time, depending on your internet speed and file size. After the download, you can hit ‘Scan.’

Step 3. Retrieve deleted voicemail.

On the left-hand panel, you’ll find a list of categories. Select ‘Voicemail.’ Then go through the entire gallery and select the voicemails you want to retrieve individually, and then click on ‘Recover to Computer.’

Method 3: Recover deleted voicemails via iTunes backup.

If you prefer to maintain their backups in iTunes, you’re in luck because Dr.Fone also serves as a great iTunes backup extractor. However, the problem with iTunes backup files is the same as that of iCloud, you can’t view them individually, and recovering a backup means losing all your present data. So you can use Dr.Fone as a medium to access all the data in the iTunes backup files, and then selectively restore them.

Step 1. Recover from iTunes Backup File.

Amongst the three recovery options, choose “Recover from iTunes Backup file.”

Step 2. Select the backup you want to access.

Go through the file size of all the backup files and their ‘latest backup date’ to determine which one you want to access. After selecting the backup file, you can click ‘Start Scan’, and delete iPhone backups if you want.

Step 3. Retrieve deleted voicemail.

The final step is the same as the previous methods. You select the category ‘Voicemail’ and then go through the gallery, choose the voicemails you want to retrieve, and click “Recover to Computer.”

However, for Method 2 and Method 3 to work, you need to backup iPhone either in iCloud or iTunes.
