Similar with me but with text messages. In the main message thread, all messages are gone up to about 24 hours ago. I can still see all the attachments from years back by tapping on the persons name and looking at the attachments but all the messages are gone up to around 24 hours.


It feels like an iOS bug that most have not yet noticed. I updated a few weeks ago and just now noticed it.

Hello KateGalway,


From what you've shared it sounds like attachments are disappearing. If this is correct, we recommend saving any attachments that are important as outlined in the following user guide under "Work with attachments": Send photos and videos in Messages on iPhone - Apple Support


Your available storage may also be a concern. Review your iPhone suggestions for optimizing your storage as outlined on the following page. Large attachments may be a suggestion: How to check the storage on your iPhone and iPad - Apple Support


Regards.
