A surprise gift was planned across two LINE chats: a small group discussed the shortlist, while a private reply explained that the recipient already owned one option and did not want another color. Now those details are missing on your Galaxy S25 Edge, and a product photo alone could send you toward the wrong choice. If you need to recover deleted LINE messages on Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge without a backup, look for the actual preferences and exclusions, not just the shopping image.
Dr.Fone - Data Recovery (Android) lets you look for discoverable LINE conversation data and inspect available shared media and files on a supported phone. You can preview the results and save selected useful records to your PC. Start by ruling out a chat-folder or sorting mismatch so you do not mistake a retained private message for a deleted group reply.

Before you start
Check the Galaxy S25 Edge support conditions
The confirmed Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge record lists Kernel 6.6.98. No Android-version restriction is listed for this model; the named-model and Kernel conditions still apply. In Settings > About phone > Software information, note the phone identity and Kernel. Its support is not inferred from another Galaxy model or from the appearance of the phone.
Prepare Windows and a private recovery destination
Advanced Recovery is Windows-only and saves selected discoverable results to a PC instead of restoring them into LINE. Prepare a USB data cable and a private folder rather than a shared gift-planning location. Keep LINE installed and avoid clearing its storage/cache, resetting the phone or changing firmware. Follow the product's on-screen access instructions; this guide does not prescribe a Root method or assume how product access is obtained.
List which person said what and where
Write down the direct-chat contact, the planning group's name, an approximate date and a distinctive product word. Separate an initial suggestion, an explicit exclusion and an actual order confirmation. A photo may identify a product, but it does not supply the missing preference or establish that a purchase happened.
Check All chats before assuming the private reply was deleted
Use this check when the group is visible but the direct conversation is absent, or chats appear to have moved after a view or sorting change.
Step 1 Inspect the current folder rather than changing the account
If Chat folders is already enabled, switch to All and check both the direct conversation and the group. LINE automatically places chats in Friends, Groups or Official accounts as well as All. A Groups-only view can leave a retained direct conversation outside your current list. Do not log out, recreate an account or reinstall LINE to correct a view filter.
Step 2 Search the contact and the product separately
Use the Chats search icon in Japan, Taiwan or Thailand, or the search field above the chat list outside those regions. Search the contact or group, then open the relevant chat and search a distinctive product phrase. Use the in-chat calendar to review the planning date; read the full sentence around words such as not or already.
Step 3 Account for pinned chats and sorting
A chat can appear lower in the list because the view is sorted differently. For Android outside Japan, Taiwan and Thailand, LINE provides Chats > options > Sort chats with Time received, Unread messages and Favorites; the regional layout uses the sorting choices at the top of Chats. Pinned chats remain above favorites. Inspect these existing views instead of assuming position in the list proves deletion.
- All is a folder view, not a recycle bin or a way to restore deleted messages. Sorting changes display order, not chat contents.
- If the actual messages are gone, continue to the Dr.Fone workflow. Do not send a group test message that could reveal the surprise or treat a same-account PC as a complete independent backup.
Identify the gift-planning detail that actually matters
| Record you find | Useful information | Check before using it |
|---|---|---|
| A private preference or exclusion | The person's actual wording about color, model or an item already owned | Preserve the negative or condition in the sentence; a cropped phrase can reverse its meaning. |
| A group shortlist | What the planners considered | A suggested option is not necessarily the final choice or the recipient's preference. |
| An available photo, video or specification file | The pictured option or usable product reference | Match model and variant to the written discussion, not merely a similar-looking thumbnail. |
| A retained order confirmation | The item and status actually stated in that confirmation | Keep it distinct from a link, screenshot of a cart or discussion of buying. |
| A fresh answer from a planner | An updated clarification for today's decision | Label it as new information, and ask privately if discretion matters. |
Common problems and fixes
The group appears under All, but the private reply is still missing
Search the direct contact and the remembered phrase separately from the group name. The important exclusion may have been written privately rather than posted to the group. If it was actually deleted, inspect the available LINE conversation results for that direct exchange, not just the group's attachment list.
The product image is found, but it looks like a different variant
Open the usable image or file and inspect the visible option label. Then compare it with the actual written preference. Do not infer the final choice from an image's position in a result list or from a filename alone; a shortlist can contain multiple similar versions.
Only part of an exclusion is available
Keep the fragment as it is and look for the full sentence or nearby replies. Do not fill in missing negatives or merge a planner's new recollection into recovered wording. If the purchase depends on an unresolved detail, seek a fresh private clarification and keep that new answer separate.
How to use Dr.Fone - Data Recovery (Android)
Dr.Fone - Data Recovery (Android) gives you a no-backup scan route for the missing LINE details on a supported Galaxy S25 Edge. Its Windows-only Advanced Recovery mode lets you preview discoverable conversation records and inspect LINE Attachments separately before saving selected results to a PC. You can focus on the preference, exclusion and matching reference file that make the recovered information useful, without copying every unrelated private exchange.
- Conversation preview helps identify available private replies and group discussion without treating them as one source.
- Separate attachment review lets you inspect discoverable photos, videos and files before choosing which references to save.
- Selective PC recovery keeps the useful planning records in a destination you control, outside the shared LINE discussion.
Follow the official Advanced Recovery workflow
Step 1 Open Advanced Recovery for the Galaxy S25 Edge
Launch Dr.Fone on Windows and choose Toolbox > Data Recovery > Android > Recover Android Data. Select Advanced Recovery and click Start Scan. Connect the supported Galaxy S25 Edge by USB when prompted and follow the device-detection instructions.

Step 2 Choose LINE app data to scan
Select LINE from the available app-data categories and click Start Scan. The relevant target is the LINE conversation data and available attachments, not a whole-phone backup or a shopping account.

Step 3 Keep the phone connected until scanning finishes
Maintain a stable USB connection while the scan runs. If you need to stop, click Cancel before disconnecting. Follow the product's on-screen restart instructions if the phone becomes temporarily unresponsive after scanning or recovery.

Step 4 Review the conversation and attachment results
Open LINE to preview the available direct and group conversations, using search and filters where offered. Look for actual preference and exclusion wording. Then open LINE Attachments separately to inspect the available photos, videos and files. Select the records that match the planning details you need.


Step 5 Recover the chosen records to a private PC folder
Click Recover, choose a folder on your computer and complete the save prompts. Open the saved output and check the wording and usable files. This is a selected PC copy for your review, not a restoration into LINE or a notification to the gift-planning group.
Conclusion
A gift photo is more useful when you also have the message explaining which option to avoid. Dr.Fone - Data Recovery (Android) helps you look for discoverable LINE conversations, preview available supporting files and save selected records privately to your PC. Download Dr.Fone for Windows, connect your supported Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge and start the guided scan to look for the missing details behind the plan.
FAQ
1. Can I recover deleted LINE messages on Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge without a backup?
Dr.Fone - Data Recovery (Android) offers a device-scan route for supported Galaxy S25 Edge conditions. Use Windows Advanced Recovery to scan LINE, preview available conversations and LINE Attachments, then save selected results to your PC without relying on an earlier chat backup.2. Will switching from Groups to All recover deleted chats?
No. It can reveal a retained direct chat that was outside the current folder view, but it does not undelete anything. LINE's chat folders organize existing conversations. Use the separate device-scan workflow to look for discoverable deleted data.3. Why did a LINE conversation move below other chats?
The list can be sorted by Time received, Unread messages or Favorites, and pinned chats remain above favorites. Check the current sorting and search for the conversation. Its position alone does not establish that its contents were deleted.4. Can Dr.Fone recover deleted LINE photos and product-reference files?
Inspect the separate LINE Attachments results for available photos, videos and files found by scanning. Save and open the actual usable item before relying on its details. A message reference or thumbnail alone is not the complete attachment, and an image does not reconstruct the missing preference.5. Can a backup made after deletion restore the old private reply?
No. Standard Backup requires the relevant text history to have been successfully backed up beforehand and is not a full media archive. LINE also says Premium Backup cannot roll back manually deleted chat history. Keep current data intact rather than reinstalling LINE to try to recover a reply without a suitable backup.
