Can a sender delete text messages and I messages on my iphone and if they can am I able to retrieve them.

The sender cannot delete any messages on your iPhone when you are using the Apple Messages app on your iPhone.

If you are referring to another messenger app, such as WhatsApp for example, then that app has a feature that will allow the sender to delete his/her responses. If the sender does that, then there is no way for the recipient to recover those texts.

No. Only you have access to them

What you’d have to do if lost...

Restore your iPhone from a Backup:

Have an backups of this iPhone prior to this upgrade If so, then restore your iPhone from one that particularly contains this info (your most recent backup). If not, then take this as a learning experience, knowing to always backup your device prior to making any major change to it(i.e. upgrade installations). Important: Back up you iPhone prior to performing this restoration, should anything go wrong from here on out.

If iMessages (blue bubble) are missing, your carrier cannot retrieve those.

If you have another device, like an iPad or Mac, the messages might be there.

No, messages on your phone can only be deleted by you. The sender can delete the messages on their end if they choose to do so.
