What to try:

  • Check your Mac:

See if these are in the iMessages app on your Mac. If you have a Mac with these, then try boot it up (with the router powered off), and then exporting the messages fro, the iMessages app.


  • Restore form a Backup:

You can restore your Mac from the backup. I would also consider restoring your iPhone from a backup that contains these iMessages. Once either is restored, then they would be back on there. Be certain you backup each device, prior to the restoration.
