Hi, I was doing some work on iPad. It was doing what I call buffering when I was changing a setting. It came up do you want to delete? I pressed yes, said it would take 2 mins to do. I then found I had lost all messages facilities, trash, sent etc. I can pick up my hotmail stuff on laptop. If I cannot get facility back and buy a new iPad will it be the same? Help! 🤔😊
iPad Air, iOS 12
