If you deleted the messages before you updated to iOS 16, they are gone unless you have a backup that you can restore and that contains the messages. When you restore a backup, you overwrite the contents on your phone and replace it with the contents in the backup.


If you deleted the messages after you updated to iOS 16, see this.
