Text sent to me in December 2024 with no evidence

I was sent a text message on my iPhone from someone else in December 2024, it was deleted and there was no message left that it was there what can I do to prove it

It's possible that if the message was an SMS, your carrier might have a record that you received a message from a particular number. They won't have the message itself. For something that old, you may need to have a lawyer subpoena the records.

If you did not save it then, I see no way to do so now.
