With the number of messages we receive each day, we end up having to delete more than one conversation. In iOS 16, Apple takes this into account and offers us a way to delete these conversations and at the same time to be able to recover them if necessary. Let’s talk about the “Recently deleted” section of the Messages app.

The iPhone does not have a recycle bin, but it allows us to recover content that we have deleted up to 30 days later. It is so, as they say, to be able to recover elements deleted by mistake, but thanks to the automatic deletion it is used so that those who do not know this function don’t see how your devices are filled with content although he removed it.
This is the system that comes to the Messages app with iOS 16 and macOS Ventura. The first time we delete a conversation from this system, a message will notify us that this will be moved to Recently Deleted. And where is this section?
On iPhone and iPad, we can find Recently Deleted, touch the button Edit in the conversation list and selecting the corresponding option. From here we can recover or delete all conversations or only those that we select. On Mac, we can access this same section by pressing Control (⌃) + Command (⌘) + 5, or by touching just deleted On the menu Display.
Thanks to this system we will be able to clean our conversations with a little more peace of mind, since we will have the guarantee that, if we need it, we will be able to recover messages up to a month after deleting them. A really cool feature for keeping order in the Messages app.
