How do I retrieve deleted messages from iPhone?
iPhone 11 Pro Max, iOS 13
Restore the backup to retrieve the messages that were present when the backup was created.
Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from a backup - Apple Support
From your last backup of them.
No backup? No restore.
Did you back up your phone? Did you sync it to iCloud? If not deletions are just that, deleted.
If you are using iCloud Syncing for Messages, your messages are not part of your back up. Once deleted, they are gone.
Yes phone backs up daily and is via iCloud . So how do I retrieve?
Yes, thanks. There is some lack of clarity whether the original poster uses iCloud Syncing for Messages.

I think it's rather confusing. iCloud syncing, iCloud back ups....
How do I retrieve messages that were deleted?
