Unfortunately, without being there when it happened, it's hard to say what caused it.

If you have an iTunes or iCloud backup, then yes. If not, then no.

The backup would have to be from a time when the messages were still on your phone.

I am going to better about backing up. What would cause that all of the sudden? I didn't change any settings. Just thinking I'd like to try and prevent it from happening again.
