Evidence recovery

    Recover deleted texts
    for court.

    Deleting a message rarely removes it immediately. Depending on the device, the app and how long ago it was deleted, we can often recover the text, the timestamp and the surrounding thread — and preserve it in a form your lawyer can actually tender.

    What we can recover

    In scope.

    • Deleted SMS and MMS
    • Deleted iMessage threads (with sufficient device or iCloud access)
    • Deleted WhatsApp messages from local databases and backups
    • Deleted Messenger, Telegram and Signal artefacts where present
    • Timestamps and participants — critical for court use
    What we cannot promise

    Honest limits.

    • Recovery of messages overwritten by heavy use of the device
    • Recovery from a phone that has been factory reset
    • Recovery from end-to-end encrypted apps without device or backup access
    How it works

    A defined process, end to end.

    1. Step 01

      Stop using the phone

      Every new message reduces the chance of recovery. Bring it to us quickly.

    2. Step 02

      Forensic acquisition

      Full file-system or physical extraction where the device supports it.

    3. Step 03

      Carving & decode

      Database carving, deleted-record recovery and app-specific decoding.

    4. Step 04

      Exhibit-ready report

      Threads exported with hashes, timestamps and chain of custody.
