Hey kiomi193,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities.


From what we understand, you're wanting to recover deleted messages. Any messages that are stored in iCloud are accessible from the device.To recover messages using the device, follow the steps below:

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.

You need iOS 16, iPadOS 16.1, or later to recover deleted messages and conversations. You can only recover messages and conversations that you deleted within the last 30 to 40 days. If you delete a message before you update to iOS 16, iPadOS 16, or later, you can't recover that message.

For future reference, the steps are also in this article: Recover deleted text messages on your iPhone or iPad.


If you're experiencing a different issue, providing more details may help you get more answers.


Take care.
