Recovering Deleted Text Messages:


A. Was iCloud Messages Set Up?:

  • If you have Messages enabled with iCloud, then check and see if they reside in there, using another device accosted to iCloud, that has not been associated to the internet yet. That way, nothing has synced.

Go Here: Set up Messages on iPhone - Apple Support


B. Any Backup of your iPhone?:


C. Log into iCloud:

If everything was syncing with iCloud, then Messages, and lots of other items would be obtainable from iCloud. So, go here to recover these: Recover Deleted Files on iCloud.com - Apple Support. But, just know if they are deleted from iCloud, then they are deleted and are gone. That's just the way it is :(
