Where Do the Deleted Messages Go?
Your deleted messages are not actually being deleted from your Samsung phone. When you remove a text message from the inbox, the data about the text message is still maintained on the phone temporarily. When the storage space is later needed for other content, the phone will wipe out the data and reallocates the memory to the other content. So, the trick to get the deleted messages back is to recover the data before being wiped out permanently.
Since the data of deleted messages are stored in the inaccessible location of phone memory, we need a professional data recovery tool to help us. FonePaw Android Data Recovery (opens new window) is specially designed for the Android system to recover deleted Android files:

Retrieve Deleted Text Messages on Samsung without Computer
Firstly, you should check if you have added a Samsung account and have enabled "Auto back up" on your device. Samsung allows you to back up messages, call logs, etc. to Samsung account. If you have backed up to the Samsung account, you may have backups that contain the deleted messages. If so, you can retrieve the messages without the computer. To restore a backup from Samsung account:
- Go to Apps > Settings > Samsung account;
- Choose Restore.
Note: All your messages that are sent or received after the backup will be erased after you restore the backup.
If you don't have the backup, there are apps that can be installed on your Android to recover messages without computer. But you should know that retrieving messages with a computer can guarantee a higher success rate. Besides, the Verizon deleted messages, T-Mobile deleted messages, etc. may be dealt with via these methods.
