You probably have it “pinned”. Hold your finger on it and tap Unpin.

iPad Messages No Sidebar I just opened Messages and the current conversation was full screen with no sidebar. I’ve no idea how it got that way and I could find no way to get the sidebar back to go to a different conversation. I quit and restarted Messages and it came back the same way then, after a few second, the sidebar magically appeared. Is this a bug or a feature I don’t know how to operate? Thanks in advance.
