How do I retrieve deleted text messages?
iPhone XS, iOS 14
Go to Settings > Your Name, Apple ID, iCloud, iTunes & App Store
Tap iCloud
Are Messages turned on?
If yes, you can't restore deleted messages.
If no, if you have a backup made from before you deleted the messages, you can restore the phone from that backup. But be advised the phone will be restored to the date the backup was made, meaning text messages sent or received after the backup was made will be gone.

If they are not in your iCloud account or present in a recent back-up, they are probably gone forever.
