Recover deleted conversation

I wanted to recover my deleted conversation but when I tap ‘Edit’ in messages I do not have that option.

You need iOS 16, iPadOS 16.1, or later to recover deleted messages and conversations. You can only recover messages and conversations that you deleted within the last 30 to 40 days. If you delete a message before you update to iOS 16, iPadOS 16, or later, you can't recover that message. 👈 In this case you would not see the EDIT option.
