Help/Support Recovering deleted iMessages

[Isha14548 2 10.2.1]

I accidentally deleted text messages with me and a friend and ive been looking for a way to recover them. Ive tried recovery programs but it only lets me view the messages, i have to pay if i want to recover them to my phone. Ive already tired this

But it didn't work it kept on freezing at 74% (I'm assuming it doesn't work because the post was from 2016). i cant restore my iPhone either because i made a mistake of backing up my phone and the previous back up (which had the messages with my friend), and that back up was deleted, i cant find it. If anyone can please help me id appreciate it, the messages were really important and i need them. Thanks

I do not think you can. 

The program that is asking for money, does it actually show the messages you need?

@Isha14548 If it lets you view them, is a picture not suitable? If any program asks for money to do something like this, it's most likely a scam and would steer clear of it. A quick google search brought up this, try that.

Well relating to the backup, it probably removes every backup but the latest one, that's why you don't have it anymore.

You said that the third-party app only allows you to view deleted texts rather than recovering, it sounds no that good. I have searched a lot and most contributors suggest restoring from iPhone backup. I have no idea whether it is helpful or not. Maybe you can have a try.
