My photo attachments have all disappeard from my iMessage threads after ios 14.0.1 update. Does anyone know how to get them back?? Im truly freaking out

Good afternoon Dfoxxi,

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!

It sounds like you are missing photos attached to iMessage on your iPhone after updating to iOS 14.0.1.

Can you provide a little more information about this issue?

• Have you restarted your iPhone since you updated it? Did you check to see if there are any carrier updates?
• Are the photos missing from iMessages (blue) or SMS/MMS (green) conversations?
• Do you have iCloud for Messages enabled in iCloud preferences, or are Messages stored on your iPhone?
• Are you missing the photos from one conversation or from several?
• Are you saying that you don't see the photos in the body of the conversation, or when you press the "i" to see the details of a conversation?

Update your carrier settings on your iPhone or iPad

Check the Apple System Status to see if there are any current issues with the iMessage service.

Use Messages on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

1. "Open the message.
2. Tap the name of the contact at the top of the message, then tap the Info button . 
3. You'll see Photos and Links. Touch and hold an image or attachment to show options like Save, Copy, Share, and Delete.

To save an attachment outside of Messages, tap the attachment, tap the Share button , then select an option like Save Image or Save to Files. When you tap Save Image, it saves it to your Photos app."

If the issue persists, please reply to this thread and we'll do our best to help you!

Take care.
