How do I retrieve deleted text messages
iPhone 13, iOS 15
Delete a message or conversation
When you delete a message or conversation, you can't get it back. So make sure that you save important information from your messages.
Retrieving isn't as easy as you think it is...
Restoring from iTunes backup is an option but you need to restore the entire iPhone (only messages restoration option does not exist) including all apps, Photos, Videos, Voice Memos, Notes on your iPhone etc...
The question is when did you backup on iTunes and when did you delete it...Read on...
Let us assume...
Date1: Backup date
Date2: Message Deletion Date
Date3: Current Date / Restoration Date
Given that --> Date1 < Date2 < Date3Â

How to create Multiple Backups for the same device.
In most cases, you don't.
The reason for 2......backups pick up the changes that you make on the iPhone. If you delete a message on the iPhone, the next backup will also delete the message from the backup.
Even if you have a backup that might qualify, there are no guarantees that the messages can be recovered. To find out, you have to erase all the data on the phone and then restore the phone from a backup that was made when the messages were still on the phone.
Things would be tons easier if you simply ask the other person in the message to send them to you again.
