Tap Messages on your Home Screen

Tap Edit in the upper left hand corner of the screen

Tap Show Recently Deleted

Tap to select a message that has been deleted in the last 30 days

Tap Recover in the lower right hand corner of the screen


If the message you are looking for does not appear, it was deleted more than 30 days ago.

If there are no messages that meet the qualifications, Recently Deleted will not even appear
