Voicemail is essential as it ensures we never miss important messages. However, some iPhone users have reported that their voicemails were deleted and are no longer visible in Phone -> Voicemail -> Deleted Messages. After contacting their cellular carrier’s customer support without success, they wonder if there is a way to recover their lost voicemails.
f you're facing the same issue, this article provides solutions to help you retrieve missing voicemails and recover deleted ones.
Were Your Voicemails Deleted or Just Hidden?
Before attempting to recover your voicemails, it’s important to understand iPhone’s call history and voicemail retention policies:
• iPhones store call history for up to 180 days and typically display only the most recent 100 calls in the Recents tab. Older call logs may be automatically removed or hidden as new ones are added.
• Similarly, old voicemails can be hidden or deleted over time due to storage limitations.
• Additionally, iOS updates may remove old voicemails to free up space.
