Deleted messages

Hello, I was wondering if there is a way to retrieve deleted messages back on top my commuter of my phone by any chance? I need them for an important case.

Check a App on Another Device:

If an app (i.e. Messages) was enabled on any other iPhone or Apple computer, then check the Messages app on your Mac to see if it exists in it. You'd start up your Mac, not connecting to the Internet, and open the Massages app. Then proceed from there with retrieving it. Important: Be certain you do not connect to the Internet while booting up, as syncing would delete it. So, power off your router to avoid the connection.

"my Mackbook was connected, but I also deleted the messages from my matchbook. now when I go to my bin on my matchbook I can see some of the messages but not the contact number. it just opens it as a file with the person's name on it. it there any way I will be able to see the contact number as well? also if you could lease elaborate more on what you said above ? am a bit confused."

Obtaining the Number....

In the Messages App:

  1. Right Click: on the number
  2. Select: Details
  3. Select: Info

"Deleted messages: the message is not in my messages app. its in the trash on my matchbook hence why its only opening it as a file with no number to show."

What do you Mean "matchbook"?

If you mean "MacBook", then provide a screenshot. Important: Rid of personal information though use of the Photos app.

As Screenshot would Help:
