I need to recover a phone number I deleted off my messages

If the number is associated with your Apple ID, have you tried signing out of Messages, restarting, and signing back in to see if that will restore the number?


If the above doesn't work, there isn't a way to look that up. If you have a backup made before you deleted the number, you can try restoring the 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 to see the contents and only restore certain files.
