They used "Delete for you". You still have it. Nail It keeps a private copy of every X (Twitter) Direct Messages message that reaches your notifications, and tells you the moment something disappears: they deleted it, you didn't.
On X, deleting a DM only hides it on the sender's side, so Nail mainly gives you search and history.

Honest answers
How can I see deleted X (Twitter) Direct Messages messages?
Install Nail It and allow notification access. From then on every X (Twitter) Direct Messages message that reaches your notifications is saved on your phone. If the sender later uses "Delete for you", the message disappears from X (Twitter) Direct Messages but stays in Nail, marked "they deleted it", and Nail sends you an alert.
Does it work without root?
Yes. Nail It only reads Android notifications. No root, no access to X (Twitter) Direct Messages's database, no Accessibility service, no account.
Does it capture every X (Twitter) Direct Messages message?
No. It is a notification history: messages that never produced a notification (muted chats, a chat open on screen, messages read on another device, a collapsed "999 messages" summary) are not captured. Nail says so honestly.
What about photos, voice notes and videos?
Images attached to notifications are kept. With Media Rescue switched on, Nail also copies photos, videos, voice notes, stickers and documents from X (Twitter) Direct Messages's media folder the moment they arrive, so a delete cannot take them back.
Is my data safe?
Everything stays on your phone. Nail has no accounts, no cloud, no analytics on your messages. Its only connection is a daily check of this site for a new version, and you can switch that off.
