how do i recover deleted text messages

You would need to restore the iPhone to a backup that was made before the messages were deleted. I'm sorry, but the other post is not about a deleted message, but only about editing a message. Remember, restoring an iPhone will bring it back to the date/time of the backup and anything done after that date/time will be lost.

Hi jerray01!

If you're accidentally delete part of your text message try to shake your iPhone and undo your last edit.
