Is there anyway of saving my text messages and photos on my iPhone?
I have an iPhone 4s. The camera application has been playing up, as in the virtual shutter is on the 'closed' and it will not open. It has been happening on and off now for a few months. However, I think now it has truly packed up.
The Apple Genius that I spoke to on the phone, said it could be a software issue. Which means if it is, I lose all my text messages and photos. Therefore would have to delete the back up too as it is probably 'contaminated'.
Considering that Apple is such a 'great' make I think this is rather ridiclious! There must be some other way of saving the photos and texts messages, so when the phone is fixed, I can transfer them back!
Any advice or tips would be great thank you!
Well since Apple hates SD cards, I would look for a cloud based app that transfers text messages. Android has them where you can save a file to an SD card and reload after wiping the phone or moving the card to a new one. Since Apple hates SD cards you will have to find another option. If you haven't already, go through the threads and save the pics from messages to your camera roll (touch them and there should be an option to save). Then plug it into your computer and you should be able to import the pictures to My Pictures just like you would from a camera. You can then Restore the phone to wipe it.

- Is there anyway you can see text messages after you have deleted them? I just got a iphone a couple days ago but before that i just had a basic phone from verizon.

Does anyone know how they can see the messages and if they do is there a way I can make it so they can't see them?
