Lost Text Messages after upgraded Iphone

Two days ago, I updated to the latest OS. Afterwards, the pin I had with my wife and daughter were gone along with any text messages I between them. Other text messages seem to have survived. Apple says there are no way to recover the text messages. Has anyone else had this experience?


And yes, I have "forever" checked on how long to keep messages on my iphone.


Just unsettling and may have lost valuable communications and photos. I do recall some quick message flashing across from screen, and not sure what that was about, and if the upgrade as asking about deleting text messages. (If so, that is crazy.)


Any help would be appreciated.
