How do I retrieve text messages I have deleted

IF you've been doing this How to back up your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support

And don't have this enabled Set up iCloud for Messages on all your devices - Apple Support

Then you can do this to recover the message Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from a backup - Apple Support

Your tag says ios 12 but if you have ios 16 or higher read here Recovering deleted texts and iMessages - Apple Community
