Check the Google Drive backup if available. The most reliable way to recover deleted messages on Android is by accessing the backup file stored in Google Drive. To do this, log into the Google Drive account linked to your husband’s phone on a computer. Browse through the backup folder for the date you want to review, and any deleted texts should be there.
Important Note:
Be aware that accessing someone else's personal communications without their consent may be illegal in your area. In some states, this could even be considered a felony.
If there are no backup files in Google Drive, the chances of recovering a deleted text are very low.
To ensure future backups, go to the Settings on your husband’s phone, tap on “Connected Devices,” select “Backup,” and then choose “Back up now.” Make sure the SMS box is checked so that Google can back up any texts on the phone.
If you have a Google One subscription, you can set it up to back up messages automatically.
