Under message, edit, the prompt for "show deleted text messages" isn't showing up. I followed advice to delete a message and go back the messages,edit to see if the prmpt would show up and it did not. I don't know how they got deleted and I don't know how to get them back.
Hi Daybo3541,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. We understand you want to recover some deleted messages. We're happy to share some tips that may help. It sounds like you've already checked with the steps below. We do want to make sure nothing is missed, so make sure you're checking for recently deleted messages with these steps:
1. In Messages, tap Edit on the conversations page. If you previously turned Message Filtering on, the Edit button doesn't appear. Instead, tap Filters on the conversations page.
2. Tap Show Recently Deleted.
3. Choose the conversations with the messages you want to restore, then tap Recover.
4. Tap Recover Message or Recover [Number] Messages.

If you do not see the option to recovery messages, and you're using iCloud for messages there isn't a way to help recover deleted messages. If you're not using iCloud for Messages you may be able to recover those deleted messages if they are backed up.

Thanks.
