How to view old messages on Samsung phones

If you accidentally delete an important message on your Samsung, it's easy to fix. All you need to do is go to your message history and find the message you need.

Gadgets To Use has prepared a guide for Samsung smartphone users with a detailed description of the steps. Here are 3 ways to view your Samsung Galaxy message history.

What does access to the notification history do? It allows you to read messages without informing the sender that you have read them. You can also track apps that send spam messages and delete them.

Turn on message history in the settings

Message history is available on all Android smartphones starting with Android 11 and above, but it is turned off by default. Once you turn it on in the settings, your messages will be saved in the history even if you reject them.

How do I enable history?

Open Settings on your Samsung smartphone and go to Notifications.

Next: "Advanced settings" - "Message history" - Message history (enable)

Check your message history with Good Lock

"Good Lock is a program from Samsung that allows you to customize the appearance of Galaxy smartphones. In addition, the application has modules that allow you to improve the functionality of the phone. In our case, it is the NotiStar module that controls the message history.

So, install the Good Lock app on your Samsung smartphone. Open the app and go to the Life Up tab. Find the NotiStar module and click "Install".

After installation, reopen the Good Lock app, select NotiStar, enable the module, and set it to save history.

To check notifications, go to the Good Lock app, open NotiStar. You can also create a shortcut to the module on the Home screen and access it directly.

Use the Nap app to view old messages on your Samsung

Nap is a third-party app that saves notifications and allows you to check them later. This is useful if you receive a lot of similar notifications. Here's how to use it.

Download the Nap app from Google Play, launch it, and set it up with the necessary permissions. After that, the app will start keeping a notification history.

The app has several settings and options to create more of these tabs, which filter out the most important notifications and reject the ones you've marked for blocking.
