When you see beautiful scenery, you may want to share it with your friends via MMS. What if you erased the entire MMS thread by accident? Just let go your wonderful memory, or try to figure out the way to get it back? I believe most people are inclined to choose the latter one. In fact, it is not that difficult than you imagine to recover the lost MMS thread. Once you mistakenly deleted MMS threads from your iPhone, they do not disappear for good, which means you still can get them back. What you need is a professional program — FoneLab. It has three modes: Recover from iOS Devices, Recover from iTunes Backup Files and Recover from iCloud Backup Files. In the following part, we will teach you how to use this tool step-by-step.
Of course, at the very beginning, you need to download FoneLab on your computer. Let’s check out how this tool works.
Mode 1: Recover from iOS Devices for MMS Threads
After downloading, unfold the installer package to install and run this program on your PC.
Then plug in your iPhone to PC through a USB cable. On the interface, find and click “Start Scan” button. After that, you should download a plug-in. Just follow the three procedures below, you will enter the scanning mode.
- 1. Hold iPhone and hit the “Start” button.
- 2. Simultaneously press and hold both the Power and Home buttons for about 10 seconds.

On the left sidebar, choose Message Attachments and all MMS will be shown on the right side. At the top of the interface, you are able to switch on the “Only display the deleted item(s)” toggle.
Once you have chosen the MMS you want to retrieve, you can click “Recover”.

If you have backuped your iPhone with iTunes before, you can easily undelete your MMS by FoneLab.

Plus, you can get your lost MMS back with the help of iCloud if you have performed the backup before.
