Do text messages get lost while you restore an iPhone?

While I'm restoring my iPhone (process took a couple hours) and someone were to text me during that time, would I get those texts messages when I'm finished restoring and the iPhone turns back on? Or is there a chance those messages get "lost" or never delivered

No, not at all. Your text messages will remain there. However, other applications might be affected or lost.

They are held in queue until your phone is ready to receive them.

They would be 'lost' in between the restore yes.

  • Why didn't I receive text messages people sent while I was away? - 1 I was away in Italy and I took my cell phone, but turned off roaming and data. Anyway, when we got back my sister received text messages people sent while she was away, but I didn't. People told me they texted me and I never got them. I don't this guy to think I'm ignoring him if he also sent me a text while I was away. I have an iPhone and my carrier is Verizon.

  • Text messages lost after iphone restore? I recently dropped my phone, breaking the screen. While the screen was broken, the phone itself was still functional even though the display showed nothing. I could feel text alerts coming in as I took it to get repaired, unfortunately the only backup I had was from before those texts were sent so i no longer have them on my phone. Is there a way I can view the texts that were sent to me while my display was broken?
