Where are my deleted messages?

Answered by Phillip Nicastro

When it comes to recovering deleted messages in the Gmail app on your Android device, the process is quite simple. Let me guide you step by step on how to do it.

1. First, open the Gmail app on your Android phone or tablet. You can usually find the app icon on your home screen or in the app drawer.

2. Once you have opened the app, look for the menu button, which is typically located in the top left corner of the screen. It is represented by three horizontal lines or dots. Tap on it to open the menu.

3. In the menu, scroll down and find the “Trash” option. Tap on it to access your deleted messages.

4. Now, you will see a list of all the messages that you have deleted. To recover a specific message, tap on the letter or photo next to it. You can select multiple messages by tapping on each letter or photo.

5. After selecting the messages you want to recover, you will notice a menu icon at the top right corner of the screen. It is represented by three vertical dots. Tap on it to open the options menu.

6. From the options menu, tap on “Move to” to choose where you want to move the selected messages.

7. A list of folders will appear, including your inbox and any other custom folders you have created. Select the folder where you want to move the messages. In this case, choose your inbox to restore the messages back to your main email folder.

8. Once you have selected the desired folder, tap on the “Move” button to complete the recovery process.

That’s it! The selected messages will now be moved from the Trash folder to your chosen destination folder, which is typically your inbox. You can then access and view them like any other regular email.

Remember to check your inbox or the folder you moved the messages to, and you should find your recovered emails there.

I hope this detailed explanation helps you recover your deleted messages in the Gmail app on your Android device. If you have any further questions or need more assistance, feel free to ask.
