Honor Cloud (known as Huawei Cloud on older models) provides a reliable way to restore deleted SMS for users who have enabled cloud backup, especially if you've consistently backed up your Honor phone and included text messages in those backups.
Here's how to do it:
Step 1. Open the Settings app on your Honor phone.
Step 2. Go to "System & updates" > "Backup & restore" > "Cloud".
Step 3. Sign in using your Honor ID.
Step 4. Select the appropriate backup that includes your SMS.
Step 5. Tap "Restore" and wait for the process to complete.
Honor smartphones released in 2020 or earlier were still part of Huawei and often came pre-installed with Huawei Mobile Services (HMS). These models typically support Huawei Cloud for backing up and restoring SMS, contacts, photos, and more.
If you're open to third-party apps and have created a backup before the messages were deleted, SMS Backup & Restore is a free and widely used solution to recover your texts.
Note: There are many other third-party tools on the market claiming to recover deleted messages. However, many of them come with intrusive ads, potential privacy risks, and hidden costs. If you don't mind these limitations, apps like SMS Backup & Restore can still be helpful.
