Recovering Deleted Photos:

Transfer these Photos from iCloud to your Device:

  1. Go Here: Download iCloud Photos and Videos - Apple Support
  2. Scroll to: On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
  3. Scroll to: On your Mac or PC
  4. Proceed from there as necessary


Recovering Deleted Messages:

What to Consider:

A. Visit this Site: Recover Deleted Text Messages On your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support

B. Restore from Today's Backup:

Restore your iPhone from a backup of it that contains these messages, and you could recover them.

C. Check Messages App:

If messages was enabled on your iPhone along with your Apple computer, then check and see if the Messages app is enabled on your Mac to see if it exists in it. You'd start up your Mac, not connecting to the Internet, and open the Massages app. Then proceed from there with retrieving it. Important: Be certain you do not connect to the Internet while booting up, as syncing would delete it. So, power off your router to avoid the connection.

D.  Check your Carrier’s Site:

Log in to your Carrier’s site, seeing if you can view a history there. Doing so, I can see a call log going back 90 days —but not a text messages log.
