Someone deleting a message they receive from you on their device has nothing at all to do with your device, or messages on your device.

iCloud messages updating Is it normal for my iPhone 13 to frequently say uploading messages to iCloud when I pull up my messages app. It usually only last for a couple seconds but seems to be on particular days then it won’t do it for a couple weeks. Could someone be logging into my iCloud and sending messages from a previous device of mine and deleting them? Is this what could cause this? I’ve never seemed to have this issue before unless I was backing up a device from another. [Image Edited by Moderator to Remove Personal Information]

Messages automatically deleting from iPhone Iphone XR, 18.0 - I keep it updated, Keep Messages is set on forever. Almost every time I check recently deleted messages, I find many messages (sometimes 17 or so from one person) with varying days until deletion. Messages are saved to iCloud, where I have 41G unused. Any advice? Thank you.
