After you delete a message, go to the Recently Deleted section.However, if you don’t want to keep them for that many days, you can erase them instantly. The messages you delete are moved to the Recently Deleted folder and automatically deleted after 30 days. I can’t select and recover just one, two, three, or a few of these 19 messages. My only option here is to recover all 19 deleted messages. For example, in the screenshot below, there are 19 deleted messages for Ankur iDB. You can’t pick and recover individual messages of a conversation.

However, please note that when it comes to recovering, your only option is to recover all deleted messages of that conversation that you see on the Recently Deleted screen. In both cases, the entire deleted conversation or a few deleted messages of a conversation will move to the Recently Deleted section and stay there for 30 days. Important note: The Messages app allows you to delete the entire conversation or go inside a conversation and delete just one or a few selected messages.

Note: You will see Messages > Unknown & Spam > Filter Unknown Senders. If you don’t see Filters, tap Edit and pick Show Recently Deleted.
