You can recover conversations and messages you deleted in the Messages app. See the Recover deleted text messages on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support support article for instructions. Note that you can only recover messages and conversations that you deleted within the last 30 to 40 days.


To see the phone numbers that you've blocked, go to Settings > Messages. Under SMS/MMS, tap Blocked Contacts. Read more in the Block phone numbers, contacts, and emails on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support article.
