Missing text messages
All my text messages from 3/2/2021 to 5/6/21 are gone from my phone. How do I get them back. This is critical. I did nothing and there is plenty of storage (half) on my phone. I am not using another device.
iPhone 6s, iOS 12

What to Consider:
A. Restore from Today's Backup:
Restore your iPhone from a backup of it that contains these messages, and you could recover them.
B. Check Message App:
If messages was enabled on your iPhone along with your Apple computer, then check the Messages app on your Mac to see if it exists in it. You'd start up your Mac, not connecting to the Internet, and open the Massages app. Then proceed from there with retrieving it. Important: Be certain you do not connect to the Internet while booting up, as syncing would delete it. So, power off your router to avoid the connection.

This same thing just happened to my iPhone 12, did nothing they just started to go. I have iCloud messages on for my iCloud, however nothing is getting transferred to the iCloud from this phone. Just my real old stuff even though the backup says it was done yesterday. Lovely good to see things working the way there designed too.
