Is there a way to recover accidentally deleted text messages? Texts were deleted in the RC Phone app on an iOS device. We can do this for deleted voicemail messages within 5 days by signing into the portal site.

Hi Robert,

Unfortunately there isn't a way to recover the deleted messages. Going forward, I would recommend backing them up with RingCentral's Archiver, which backs everything up to a DropBox account. In the future they'll be adding additional cloud storage services as well :)

I'm confused. Shouldn't these text messages be backed up to your iCloud or iTunes?
Well, if you haven't got any backup, you can try a third-party program to retrieve the messages.
What I'm using is Joyoshare iPhone data recovery Mac. It can recover the messages or photos in apps without overwriting the current data on my phone.

I wish that there was a better warning for users, that voicemails, any call recordings, and text messages would be deleted after a certain retention period.

This has caused a lot of pain because there were significant and important records deleted, and this all could have been prevented if we were just advised to have a backup in place.

Furthermore, now that I realized a backup is needed, I am trying to download the RingCentral Archiver, and when I click to Download, it keeps redirecting me to the login page (after I've already logged in).

Pretty frustrating, and it shows a complete lack of forethought on RingCentral's part. This should have clearly been disclosed to customers.
