Troubleshooting Lost Messages:

What to Consider:

A. Restore from Today's Backup:

Restore your iPhone from a backup of it that contains these messages, and you could recover them.

B. Check Messages App:

If messages was enabled on your iPhone along with your Apple computer, then check and see if the Messages app is enabled 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.

Elsewise, if they're gone, they're gone. That's just the way it is :(

The backup on a PC or Mac is not going to be of much use unless the iPhone was backed up while the messages were still on the iPhone......and the iPhone has not been backed up again up since that time.

If the iPhone was backed up to a PC or Mac after the messages were deleted from the iPhone, then the backup will reflect the deletion.

The same would be true regarding an iCloud backup.

Were you thinking about another type of backup?

If you have a device backup that contains the message(s), and you do not use messages in iCloud, you can factory reset your phone to erase all data and restore it using your backup.
