how do i retrieve deleted texts 12 maxpro

Hi Patricia1588,

We see you want to know about recovering deleted messages. This will depend on whether you use Messages in iCloud. You can check that under Settings > [name] > iCloud.

If you do use Messages in iCloud, deleted messages would be deleted from all devices are excluded from backups, so those are not recoverable: Use Messages in iCloud - Apple Support

On the other hand, if you don't use Messages in iCloud, if you have a backup from before they were deleted, you might be able to restore them. Keep in mind that restoring a backup replaces the entire contents of your device with that of the backup. Here's how you can check for a backup: Locate backups of your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support

Let us know what you find. Cheers.
