Table of Contents

iOS 18 introduced Live Voicemail to all iPhone users living in India. If you’ve been using the new feature, you should know how to manage the voicemails effectively.

Sometimes, you may accidentally delete a voicemail and later regret it. So, is there a way to get back the deleted voicemail messages on iPhone? We will know about it in this article.

Can You Recover Deleted Voicemail on iPhone?

Yes, the iPhone offers you an option to recover the voicemail you deleted accidentally or intentionally.

Like deleting text messages, when you delete a voicemail, your iPhone stores the deleted VM in the trash folder, allowing you to retrieve it if needed.

You can technically get back the deleted voicemails, but there’s an important thing to remember. Certain telecom operators automatically delete the voicemail after a specific time. Yes, the time frame can vary for each network; you can confirm it by reaching out to your carrier.

Another thing is that if you sync your iPhone with a computer via iCloud, you won’t be able to recover the deleted VM(s). This is because syncing your iPhone to a computer clears the cache of deleted messages.

So, if you haven’t synced your iPhone with your PC and your carrier hasn’t deleted the VMs, you can retrieve them by following the steps below.
