iMessage not showing on iPhone

I have this strange issue where i cannot see past yesterdays chat.

The strange part is when i search for yesterdays message i can see it in search results but clicking it still takes me to the chat without it. It’s even stranger coz i can see said messages perfectly on my Mac and iPad, but not on my iPhone where I would primarily need to see them.

i tried syncing and it worked but then stopped. This happened after i upgraded my iCloud storage and freed up space on my iPhone.

honestly at wits end about this

iPhone 11, iOS 18

It’s quite frustrating to deal with. It doesn’t have to be rocket science to see a message i was sent yesterday

I have the same issue. Messsages doesn't show in the list, but I can found them and I can see exchanged docs, pics .

Strange thing is that I can see daily messages, but I cannot see them again the day after. It's like the backup erase messages from the phone.

Normal SMS and iMessage before 2020 are still displayed.

Messages are also displayed on iPad Mac and old iPhone.

It's only happening on my new 16 pro max with iOs 18.01.

can't see any solution anywhere

(I must add that the whole experience with iMessage is not good on this new iPhone. I often find iMessage off and need to reactivate it)
