Hi LKJTREF

welcome to the Apple (user-to-user) Community.

Re: I have iOS 16.4.1 version on my iPhone 11 but Show Recently Deleted does not appear in the Edit menu ot iMessage.

Seems there is an alternate option (using "Filters") you may want to try:

Apple Support's article:

Recover deleted messages on iPhone – Apple Support

says:

"In the Messages conversation list, do one of the following:

Tap Edit in the top-left corner, then tap Show Recently Deleted.

OR

Tap Filters in the top-left corner, then tap Recently Deleted.

If you’re in a conversation, tap  to return to the conversation list.

Select the conversations whose messages you want to restore, then tap Recover.

Tap Recover Messages.

Note: Any message that you delete from a conversation using Undo Send is permanently deleted."

All the best :-)

Thank you, LKJTREF,

Grateful for your reply, and for letting us know we helped!

Cheers :-)
