How do I access all photos shared via iMessage on iPhone 17?

Hi, I have the same issue. I have been dealing with this for over a month. I have been to numerous apple stores for Genius Bar appointments and no one seems to have an answer.

I have a case now with apple support but they are a bunch of idiots that don't know how to fix this issue. Does anyone else have a case with the support team? I also told them let's try it with a brand new phone but the so claimed "senior" adviser said that is it a software issue and not the device itself.

This is honestly so ridiculous and after being an apple client for over 10 years when the first iPhone came out I have never had an issue like this. Shame on apple

I’m soo frustrated about this issue. I have had my phone for 3 weeks now , and have tried everything said to do on this thread. Nothing is working. I keep trying to search for screenshots or pictures sent in texts- but I cannot. My mom also passed last year and I’ve been trying to look in shared to see the pictures she had sent but it’s all gone. So frustrating that my 11 let me do this, but my new 17 won’t allow it, has the most recent update.

Ok, so there no longer is a tab for photos. I figured it out. You have to search the person who's text conversation you want to see shared photos with. Then keep scrolling until you see the photos section and you will find all the photos you have ever shared with that person. It's annoying because it's not under the conversation with the person. You have to leave the conversation to find the photos but they are there.

I’ve had my iPhone 17 ProMax over 2 weeks & did the upgrade. I still can’t review all pictures that I sent in messages.

Please tag me if someone has a solution - I am having the same issue and I got my phone days ago.

I have the same problem.

how long does it take till Full indexing?

It is a bit annoying

Same issue, only seeing have "links, documents, backgrounds, Info, locations". I want to be easily able to find photos that message and I have shared to one another.

How long did it take for “toggle iMessages on and off” to work?

Lucky you

I did the same thing still not working

It’s been two weeks now

Any luck ! All the suggestions haven’t fixed my issue

I’ve been having the same issue and I’m losing my mind, have tried everything the forums have suggested - have had my phone 1 weeks

Same issue and I’ve had phone for a week or 2 now

Someone from Apple needs to speak up. There are way too many people having this issue including myself and I’m very frustrated that I’ve lost all photos in my text thread. Apple fix this now.

I’m also having the same issue. Anyone find a solution yet?

What are the two toggles you’re referring to? I’ve tried everything and I’m still having the issue.
