Hello,


If you have, Keep Messages set to Never, you can on iPhone, open a thread, tap the time at the top in the status bar, and it will go up as far as it cam. Then do it again if more messages pop up after loading. Continue until you reach the top. If the setting is set to 1 Year or 30 Days, Messages will be automatically deleted once they are that old. And if you’ve deleted a thread and restart, it is impossible to see those messages again.
