Go to Settings/[your name]/icloud. Is the switch for messages ON? If it is there is no way to recover deleted messages.


If it is OFF and you have a backup that was made before the messages were deleted you can restore that backup. Doing so will overwrite everything on your phone, not just those specific messages.
