Hello there!


If you recently deleted a message, you can restore this!


Follow these steps:

1) First open the apple messages app


2) Tap on the upper left corner: Edit


3) Then, all the way at the bottom, tap: show recently deleted


4) Then select the text’s you want to recover.


5) And the last step: tap on recover


Hope this helps!
