is it possible to retrieve deleted msgs from I message

[iMore Question]

I was trying to edit the messages from a contact and selected a few to be deleted,
but all messages from the contact got deleted

You could, if you have created a backup in your device.

While you can back up iMessages with iCloud, if you delete those messages, then back up again, they're gone. iCloud only backs up what is currently on your phone. It's not storage.
