Missing photos from iMessage “see all”

Ever since I updated to iOS 18, all of the photos that are kept forever in iMesssges are gone from “see all” within message. How do I get them back?

I'm experiencing a similar issue. After updating my iPhone 12 PRO to iOS 18, I noticed that photos shared in my messages, both sent and received, are no longer appearing when I go to a contact's iMessage and click on 'Photos.' However, I can still see all the old pictures and screenshots on my iPad, which hasn’t been updated to iOS 18. I'd like to resolve this as soon as possible. I checked my settings and my messages are backed up to icloud "forever"
