Recovering deleted text messages

I accidentally set up delete text messages older than a year… Can I recover them?

You can check to see if they were synched to your iCloud Account or are in Recently Deleted Folder. Also check to see if they were included in a recent back-up. If in none of those places, they are probably gone for good.
