I’m really frustrated because I accidentally deleted some important LINE messages during a chat cleanup on my Android phone, and now I need them back for work. Is there an easy, step-by-step way to recover them without losing anything else on my device? What tools or apps would you recommend that are reliable and don’t require advanced tech skills?
First try the built-in route: stop using the phone, open LINE > Settings > Chats > Back up and restore chat history, and if a Google Drive backup exists, uninstall/reinstall LINE and Restore (this won’t affect other apps/photos, but any chats not in the backup are gone); also check Google Drive > Backups to confirm. If there’s no backup, desktop tools like Dr.Fone, Tenorshare UltData, or iMyFone D-Back for Android can scan for deleted LINE data, but they’re hit-or-miss, often need root/PC, and you should avoid saving new files to prevent overwrite; for future-proofing, mSpy (https://www.mspy.com/) can auto-log LINE messages before deletion, though it’s paid and needs setup. TL;DR: Easiest is restore from LINE’s Google Drive backup; no backup = try Dr.Fone/UltData/D-Back (low success, may need root); want ongoing safety net = mSpy.
