4. Click the Restore button.

Note that this method works only if the automatic backup function was activated in the settings of the messenger or if the user has previously prepared a backup of chats.

Return contacts on Sony Xperia 10 II from a broken phone

It happens that the owner, for whatever reason, breaks his Sony Xperia 10 II, and the phone stops working. In this case, you can't restore contacts with the help of your smartphone and will have to turn to a computer.

The standard way

The first option to return contacts from a broken phone is based on the very first method, discussed in the material. If the user saves the numbers in the Google account, they can be viewed on any other device:

1. Open https://contacts.google.com on your computer.
2. Sign in.
3. Go to the "Contacts" section.

Here you will see a list of all saved numbers. You can manually copy them to any convenient storage device or restore them on another smartphone, simply by logging in to your account. Another thing is if two problems occur at the same time:

• the contact has been erased;
• the phone crashed.

In this case, it will be more difficult to recover deleted contacts on Sony Xperia 10 II. However, the situation will still not be hopeless. The fact is that after deleting the numbers do not disappear, but end up in the trash. They can be restored to your computer within 30 days:

1. Follow steps 1-3 from the previous instruction.
2. Press the Setup Menu button, and then press Cancel Changes.
3. Specify the time period when the lost number was deleted.
4. Click on the "Restore" button.

Thus, the contact will be restored to your Google account, and the list of all subscribers can be viewed on any other device, where you are authorized under your account.

Alternate option

If you haven't previously used a Google account to sync your contacts, it will be even harder to recover the numbers. To return the numbers on your broken phone, you must have the USB debugging function enabled and root access. Of course, on a broken device you will not be able to perform such manipulations, so the following are relevant only if preset:

1. Connect your Sony Xperia 10 II to the PC, using a USB cable.
2. Install EaseUS Mobisaver software on your PC.
3. Make sure that the application has detected the phone.
4. Start the process of data retrieval.
5. Go to "Contacts" and tap the "Recover" button.

With a high probability EaseUS Mobisaver will restore all deleted numbers, but again not the fact that you will be able to set up pairing between the smartphone and the computer if the necessary functions were not previously activated on the mobile device.
