Hey GREENEYES25,


We understand your friend is seeing a message showing "Shared links, photos, and more will be shown once Messages finishes indexing” on their iPhone, and we'd be happy to help.


To get started, does your friend store their messages in iCloud? If unsure, go to Settings > [Your name] > iCloud and check to see if Messages is enabled.


If so, this information may still be downloading from iCloud. For more details, check out this link here: Use Messages in iCloud - Apple Support


If your friend continues to see this message after some time, then we would recommend reaching out to Apple Support directly from this link here: Get Support - Apple


Take care!
