How do I recover a text message that I deleted from “unknown senders”?

I’m selling a motorcycle amd someone I didn’t know texted me inquiring about the bike. My muscle memory kicked in and insteat of accepting the message, I deleted and reported as junk. I need to recover that text. Thanks for your time.

Hello sin27,

Thank you for reaching out in Apple Support Communities. Text messages are important and I can help point you in the right direction here. Texts are not saved on the server for recovery once you delete them. This is why there are now two steps that ask you if you want to delete now. If you happened to make a backup of your data before the text was deleted, you could restore your backup to your iPhone. Here's how to do that.

Take care.
