Hi Community2200,

Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities! I understand you'd like to know if you will see get notified when someone reacts to your message, even after you delete the conversation thread. I am happy to answer this for you.

I've tested this out between two iPhone's (via iMessage), and I did receive a notification that the other person had reacted (in this case "liked") my message. However, when you open the notification, you may just be brought to an empty (blank) conversation thread. That is expected since you had deleted the conversation thread prior to receiving the notification, and your phone won't recover deleted messages automatically.

Use Messages on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support.
