How to restore Messages:


If you have deleted one or more messages, you can restore them in Recently Deleted.

(You must be updated to iOS 16 to use this method)


1. Open the Messages app and tap Edit in the top right corner, select: Show Recently Deleted

2. Mark the messages you want to recover and tap: Recover.


Note that, after 30-40 days the messages are automatically deleted. Once the messages are

deleted, they can no longer be recovered.
