- Janet from Google Pixel thread
Many people may have experienced the similar situation. Text messages are pretty precious information on our smartphones. When you lose text messages from Google Pixel due to accidental deletion, mal-operation, messaging app crash, or malware deletion, you may want to find them back. If you have made a backup regularly, you can recover deleted text messages on Google Pixel from the backup file. But how do I get deleted text messages back when there is no backup? This post will tell you how to do it with or without backup.
