Retracted
Read full descriptionHide full description
Someone deleted a message before you could read it? Retracted kept it. Retracted keeps the text of every message you receive β Instagram, WhatsApp, iMessage, Messenger, Telegram β privately on your iPhone. When a message is unsent or deleted, it's still here. β’ See what they deleted: deleted and unsent messages stay readable in the conversation. β’ Instant alerts on Instagram: get notified the moment a message is unsent. β’ Every conversation, one place: search everything you've received, across apps. β’ Private by design: no account, no server, no ads. Nothing ever leaves your iPhone. Lock it with Face ID. How it works: iOS 27 lets a shortcut react to your notifications. Retracted gives you that shortcut, ready to use β one switch to turn on. Good to know: Retracted keeps messages received after you set it up, as long as notification previews are on and the conversation isn't open. Text only: photos and voice messages aren't kept. When many messages arrive within seconds, iOS may skip some. Requires iOS 27. Free: everything is kept, the last 24 hours are readable, and your first unsent message is revealed. Premium unlocks your full history, every deleted message and full search. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Qdisk at none against Retracted's 3. Qdisk also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 27.0). Retracted's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 10 days). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
