Hey vitaliy243,


Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!


I see from your post that you're needing to retrieve some deleted messages on your iPhone. I'd be happy to help out.


If you are using messages in iCloud, once a message is deleted from a device, it is permanently deleted. You can confirm if you had messages in iCloud turned on by checking out this article:


Keep all your messages in iCloud


If you aren't using messages in iCloud, you'll need to restore from a backup that contains the messages:


Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from a backup - Apple Support


Please note that this will restore all settings from this backup as well as remove any new data added to your device after the backup was created.


Cheers!
