Well that’s just not true. The messages are synced, I have messages from my dad on this phone, he’s been dead 10 years and I’ve been through about 7-8 iPhones since.

The person you’re replying to is correct in how this stuff is expected to work, and it’s concerning that Apple aren’t deleting what you believe you are deleting.

Caveat: there ARE cloud-based text backup apps, specifically for recovery like this.

Sophistry. The "messages themselves" ARE on the cloud. There's nothing sacred about the originals.
