All of these conditions must be met to retrieve a deleted message.

You have iOS 16 installed on your phone
The messages were deleted.....after.....you installed iOS 16 on the phone
The messages were deleted less than 30 days ago

If you tap Edit and there is no option to see Show Recently Deleted, you don't have iOS 16 installed on your phone....or....if you installed IOS 16, there are no messages that have been deleted in the last 30 days.
