Yes. Each App will have its own "Recently Deleted" section for things you delete but want to recover in that specific App.


In Messages, tap on the "Edit" option at the top left corner, and then on Recently Deleted.

In Photos, you can scroll down the Utilities section and a "Recently Deleted" section should appear there.

In the Files app, tap on Browse, and then tap back to go back to the main location list, and there should be a "Recently Deleted" section under Locations.

Other apps will have a similar location for "Recently Deleted" items.
