1. Preview Deleted SMS Messages with iOS Security Flaw

If you use the Spotlight Search function frequently, you may have found this security hole of iDevices. After you delete the text messages on your iPhone, you can still find the message in the search result of Spotlight.

This is indeed a security problem, but sometimes this turns into a good thing. When you want to preview recently deleted text messages, enter some words of the message in the spotlight search box and you'll see the message in the search results below. This is an easy way of previewing deleted messages.

But it is not reliable due to some limitations.

First, the message can be previewed for once only. If you have previewed before, there won't be results in later search.
