The only way to recover deleted text messages is to restore the phone to a backup that was made when the messages were on the device. Understand, that restoring to a backup will delete all content on the device since the date/time of the backup. Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from a backup - Apple Support

You can recover deleted iMessages in three ways. Recovering straight from your iPhone with the quick-scan Enigma Recovery software will enable you to view instant deleted messages in minutes, without the need to use a backup file. The other options involve recovering deleted iMessages from an iTunes or iCloud backup.Oct 4, 2018
