How to Recover iPhone MMS from Backup

Has this ever happened to you? You get a message from a friend with a funny picture. You check

out the picture, but accidentally delete the message and the photo, and now you want the picture

back. Is there a way to get it back? Of course you could ask your friend to resend it, but is there a

way to recover iPhone MMS from backup?

What is MMS?

Before we go any farther, let's define some of the technical lingo here. All MMS stands for is

Multimedia Messaging Service, and it is now the standard way to send message with pictures or

video or other multimedia.

MMS extends the ability of Short Message Service (SMS). SMS allowed users to send a short 160

character text messages.

I have heard of a few glitches where someone's iPhone has crashed and they lose everything from

MMS and SMS and all their message history is gone. Of course, if you recently did a sync with

iTunes you could do a recovery from iTunes, but this restores everything. Is there anything that

allows you to selectively choose what you want to recover from your backup?

Unfortunately, there is not an Apple product that allows you to selectively choose what you want to

recover. Luckily there is some software that allows you do to do just that. You can choose what you

want to recover and what you do not want to recover from backup.
