Message History I did not realize my message history was set to 30 days. I was not deleting a conversation. But just learned it was auto-deleting. It is not in my Edit-show recently deleted because it was being auto-deleted. I do not have iCloud enabled. Is there any way to see the messages that Apple auto-deleted?
