Important:

If you use Messages in iCloud, iPhone Recovery recovers it on all your devices where Messages in iCloud is turned on.
Deleting and recovering messages only changes Messages conversations where you're signed in to the same Apple Account, not your recipients' conversations.
After you recover a locked conversation where not all participants have turned on iMessage, received messages will no longer be automatically deleted.
All messages deleted from a conversation with Undo Send are permanently deleted. Audio messages that have expired before being saved cannot be retrieved.
