Deleted iMessage conversation

Hi

I accidentally deleted a whole conversation in IMessage on my 5s, when I just wanted to delete a photo. Can I recover it?

iPhone 5s, iOS 8.2

Hello Cornish wrinkly,


To get the conversation back that was accidentally deleted, you would need to have a back up in place either in iTunes or in iCloud. If you do, then you can replace the content of your iPhone with the contents of your back up to get that conversation back. Take a look at the article below to walk you through the process of restoring from a back up.
