Messages disappear

Some message threads disappeared after updating to 12.3.1. After a hard reboot they ALL disappeared. I can send and receive okay but a day later they’re all gone again. Settings is set to keep Forever. Tried unselecting / reselecting prefs with no luck. What’s going on? Thanks.

iPhone 6s, iOS 12
