Tap to open Messages

Tap Edit in the upper left corner of the screen

Tap on Show Recently Deleted

Messages that have been deleted within the last 30 days are displayed and can be recovered


If Show Recently Deleted is not displayed there are no messages that have been deleted within the last 30 days


Any messages that were deleted more than 30 days ago have already been permanently deleted and cannot be recovered
