Things would be tons easier if you could contact the other person involved with the message and ask them to send it back to you again. Is that a possibility?


Otherwise, do you know if messages were being backed up?

Do you know when you deleted the message?


We ask this because even if messages were being backed up, if you deleted a message and another backup ran after that, the message would have been deleted from the backup, so there would be nothing to recover.
