There are various recovery applications which help recover lost data. With the smart phones of today being highly capable of storing all kinds of information and even those that are highly important and sensitive, the vulnerability of putting all important data to risk also increases. If the information is lost or deleted, no chance of getting them back, really? No. But, how to retrieve deleted line messages?

There are various applications which can recover data or information lost with few steps. We use many applications for communication and in the Google Play Store. While we use such applications, it automatically happens that the chat data takes some space in the device storage. This invariably puts the data in risk of getting lost. Line is one such instant messaging and calling application. Being a messaging and calling app, the chat definitely takes some space. So, there are chances of the chat data getting deleted. This is where android data backup and restore applications come into play. In case of Line, the chat history can be backed up and restored whenever required.

There are various such data backup and restore applications which can be used to backup and restore Line chat history. Below are some ways android data can be recovered using Dr.Fone:
