Question: Q: Deleted message thread

Hello Suepier,

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities! I understand from the information you provided that you want to know how to restore a message conversation that you deleted; I'd like to help.

If you have Messages enabled in your iCloud settings, there is no way to recover these deleted messages. You can see more about this option here:

Keep all your messages in iCloud - Apple Support

If this feature is not enabled, and you made a backup of your device after you received the messages, but before you deleted the messages, you can restore that backup and it will bring those messages back.

Hope this helps.

Best Regards.

If you are syncing messages using iCloud, the message can't be recovered. If you aren't syncing messages with iCloud, restore from your backup. Restoring from a backup erases all data currently on your device. Any data newer than when the backup was made will be erased. A restore is an all or nothing restore. You can't access a backup and only restore certain files.
