Why might they have disappeared? Might your iPhone storage be full?


Check Settings > General > iPhone Storage and be certain your free space never falls below 10% of the iPhone’s total storage.


Assuming you don’t house your messages in iCloud, they are saved on your iPhone backup that occurred while they were present.
