If you have a PC or are using macOS Mojave or earlier on your Mac, you can try this method to get back deleted text messages on your iPhone. Once this process is complete, check to see if you have recovered the deleted text messages on your iPhone. You may have to sign back in to all of your accounts after the iPhone is restored.Keep in mind that the older the backup, the more likely it is that it will not contain other important data that you've added to your iPhone since that backup was made. Choose the most recent one that predates the deletion of the text messages. There may be even older backups to choose from other than the one you verified before starting. Proceed to Choose backup, then choose from a list of available backups in iCloud.Enter any passwords asked for from iCloud Backup, then sign in to iCloud.On the Apps & Data page, choose Restore from iCloud Backup.Follow the on-screen instructions until you come to the Apps & Data page.Now your iPhone has been totally erased and will begin as though it’s a new device.In the confirmation menu that pops up, choose the second option: Erase Now. It's important that you do not choose Backup Then Erase, or you will lose the previous backup and won't be able to recover the deleted text messages.Note: most of your settings will be safe when you restore your iCloud backup, but you may have to log back in on some of your apps.
