If the thread was deleted, and you have iOS 16, you may be able to recover it from the "Recently Deleted" section in the Edit or Filter menus at the top left corner of the Messages screen.

click here ➡️ Delete and recover messages on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support


If you are running iOS 15 or earlier, deleted thread cannot be recovered.
