    Restore the phone from a backup made when the messages were present on the device.

    Hi,

     

    If it is the Mac version deletion is permanent with no stop off in any Trash folder along the way.

     

    If you have Time Machine or another backup system you may get them back that way, but you have to have been Saving chats.
