iPhone update won’t let me find group texts
I just updated my iPhone 11 to iOS 16.0. Now it won’t let me find certain group texts that I have used in the last hour.

Hello jobirnbrey,
Is the group chat not showing at all in the list, or does it not populate when searching for it via one of the available search options?
If it's not showing at all in the lists, it may help to try restarting the device, as that may help with some odd issues that crop up: Restart your iPhone - Apple Support
1. Press and hold either volume button and the side button until the power-off slider appears.
2. Drag the slider, then wait 30 seconds for your device to turn off. If your device is frozen or unresponsive, force restart your device.
3. To turn your device back on, press and hold the side button (on the right side of your iPhone) until you see the Apple logo.
The "Retrieve a deleted message or conversation" section here can also help to check if may have been accidentally deleted, and try to recover it from there: Delete and recover messages on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
1. In Messages, tap Edit.
2. Tap Show Recently Deleted.
3. Choose the conversations with the messages you want to restore, then tap Recover.
4. Tap Recover Message or Recover [Number] Messages.
Be sure to also try checking the Messages app's main screen with the list of conversations, and then see if the bottom of the screen here has a progress bar or notes data is being restored from iCloud.
Cheers.
