1. How to permanently delete text
messages from iphone

2. • Ok so there is this guy that keeps texting he loves
me. My parents look at my phone and go to the
home screen and go to the left and type things like
love, kids, etc and any message someone has sent
me with those words in it pop up. My parents are
going through my phone soon how can I get rid of it?
I have already deleted messages but when they
search for that word it shows up. Help!

3. • The iPhone comes with a text messaging application that
allows users to send, receive and store all conversations
in text message format. These text messages record all
the secrets between you and your friends and the iPhone
may even know you more than your family. But when you
want to give away your old iPhone for a new one, or if you
worry about your text messages to be peeped by others,
then, it will be quite necessary to learn how to erase your
iPhone SMS logs for good, for the sake of your privacy.
But, is simple deletion enough?

4. • By default, all incoming and outgoing text messages are
saved in iPhone’s internal hard drive. When you delete a
message from your iPhone, the phone system will mark it
as deleted and you will be unable to view it on your phone.
But a special data recovery tool for iPhone can recover
deleted text messages from iPhone in a breeze, even if
you restore your iPhone to the factory default settings.
Therefore, it is very dangerous to resell, donate or
abandon your old phone before you permanently delete
your private information, because you don’t know who
will get your iPhone and what they will do with your old
data.
