To check to see if you archived your message instead of deleting it in the iOS Messenger app:

  • Open the Messenger app on your iPhone or iPad.
  • Tap your profile picture.
  • Tap Archived Chats.
  • If the chat were archived, you would see it here. Swipe across it with your finger from right to left and select Unarchive to return it to your active Messenger chats.

If you deleted a chat from Facebook Messenger, there's no way to restore it other than asking the other party to send you screenshots of their end.

I didn't know that permanent deletion of Messenger chats couldn't be undone. Good to know for the future.
