How do I retrieve messages I accidentally deleted
iPhone 11, iOS 16
If they were deleted while using iOS 16 or later, see this support article:--> Recover deleted text messages on your iPhone or iPad
On the contrary, if they were deleted while running iOS earlier than iOS 16, they can't be recovered.
