&quot;Does apple have a record of these messages on a server&quot; Yes and NO .. they're encrypted and NOT available to Apple or you to access.<br />
<br />
If they've been deleted from the device and there are no Backups on iTunes or iCloud for that device then they are NOT recoverable.<br />
<br />
If there are backups and you have access &nbsp;to the users iCloud account it should be possible to restore a backup of the phone and view whatever messages were saved on the device at that time.

accessing all iMessages from a iphone

Instant messaging (IM) is a type of online chat that offers real-time text transmission over the Internet. A LAN messenger operates in a similar way over a local area network. More advanced instant messaging can add file transfer, clickable hyperlinks, Voice over IP, or video chat. Non-IM types of chat include multicast transmission, usually referred to as "chat rooms". Depending on the IM protocol, the technical architecture can be peer-to-peer (direct point-to-point transmission) or client-server (a central server retransmits messages from the sender to the communication device).

The iPhone is a smartphone made by Apple Inc. It and the iPad, along with several other mobile devices from Apple, run on the iOS operating system, which has its own topic, as does the iPad for device-specific questions. Native iOS applications are written in Objective-C or in Swift using the Cocoa Touch frameworks or HTML5 compiled with the help of a package manager such as Adobe PhoneGap; a common IDE is Xcode.
