If the backup isn't in iCloud, you'll need access to a computer with iTunes. Your backup must be from before the text were deleted. Note that any data on the iPhone from after the backup was made will be permanently lost.


First, you'll have to erase your iPhone - How to factory reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
