Recovering old deleted Texts?

 I’m on a iPhone even though you swipe over and delete the message does that mean that conversation is completely delete it from the phone or is it invisible somewhere in the cloud and what can I do to recover those messages I need help for covering my deleted messages from one conversation

Hello @Kyshae98,

 

We're happy to help! Based on the information you have provided, it appears that you deleted the text messages from your device only. If you completed a back-up after receiving the messages you are trying to recover, they should be available for review through your iCloud. 

 

Let us know if you have any further questions!

I am looking to recover messages deleted some time ago. I regularly back up in iCloud so I know they would t be in the latest backup. Is there a way AT&T can recover if I have dates and the phone number messages were from?  I’m trying to get a restraining order on an abusive ex and would like these as proof.

I deleted messages meant to take to police. I did not back up my Icloud so how can I get them.

@dcharw123 You probably can’t. ATT does not have them. Without a backup, the only places to recover from would be the other phone that sent or received them or from your phone with special recovery software.
