Recover deleted iMessages on your Mac from Time Machine backup...
To illustrate this matter clearly, you need to know where iMessages are stored on a Mac. When you go to the ~/Library/Messages folder on your Mac, you will see the Archive folder, Attachments folder, and a file named 'chat.db'. The archive folder contains all your past messages that you have closed or saved, the Attachments folder contains the images, videos, audios, and other files that you have sent or received on your Mac via iMessage, and the file 'chat.db' is the database file where all of your messages are stored.
After backing up the existing items, you can now start to recover the deleted iMessages on your Mac without worrying about the loss of your other conversations.
Step 1: Sign out all iMessage accounts and quit Messages.
Step 2: Press and hold down the Option key and select 'Go' > 'Library' from the Finder menu bar.
Step 3: A folder window will open. Restore the subfolder named "Messages" from a backup that predates the unwanted changes
Step 4: Then log out and log back in.
This method restores the whole iMessage database and will replace the current database with an earlier version. Luckily, since you have backed up the earlier database, you can now make a backup of the recovered conversations elsewhere and then restore the later changes that have been covered by your Time Machine backup.
