If you were not syncing your messages to iCloud then you may be able to retrieve them if they had been part of a backup and you are willing to revert your entire iPhone to the state it was at the time of the backup.

If you have been using iCloud to sync messages then you received your "solution" in an earlier post. :-(

If you’re using messages in iCloud, deletions are instantaneous and permanent. They will have been deleted off the device and in iCloud and cannot be recovered unless you have your own separate, independent backup of those messages.


Messages in iCloud is a synchronization service to sync messages across all your devices (sync’ing included deletion).
