Is there a way to recover deleted iCloud messages?

I totally understand how you feel! I accidentally deleted my late boyfriend's texts thinking it wouldn’t delete everything. I was just trying to clear some space. It's such a tough situation. I wish you luck in finding some way to recover those messages!

If you had iCloud Messages turned on, deleting the conversations on your phone would also remove them from iCloud, which likely means they’re gone for good. However, there are a couple of things you could try. Check any other Apple devices you might have signed into the same iCloud account; if iMessages hasn't synced on one of those devices yet, you might still find the conversations there. If you weren't using iCloud Messages but had iCloud Backup enabled, it's possible to restore your phone from a backup made before you deleted the conversations. Just a heads up, that would erase anything added to your phone since that backup, so make sure to back up current files first! There are also some third-party apps like iMazing or Dr.Fone that say they can recover deleted messages, but results can be hit or miss and they usually aren't free. Good luck!

Have you checked your recently deleted messages? Sometimes they might still hang around there for a little while before being permanently erased. But if you deleted them through iCloud settings, they most likely aren't there anymore.
