Retrieving iMessages

Can you access/view ALL deleted iMessage conversations? Not just from a certain backup, but from all back ups?

Hello emmalynn18,


Welcome to the Apple Support Communities.


Once conversations are deleted, they would be deleted for good. The only way to restore and view them would be from restoring the backups like you described: Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from a backup


Just remember that restoring information from those backups will restore the device to that specific point and might result in losing newer information.


Kind regards.
