He read my deleted iphone messages?

So my boyfriend has found some of my old text messages and even quoted them to me, i had deleted them from my iphone5 so how can he read them? Any techies know?

I think there are more important questions than the one you asked:

1) why is your boyfriend snooping through your phone?
2) why are you hiding things from him?

I give this relationship about 3% chance of lasting.

He didn't read them off your phone, not if they were deleted.
