Can’t see old text from one contact

I transferred from android, from what I can tell all my text transferred over but my wife’s. We can text to each other but it immediately disappears. In the text screen it looks like it is still loading but has been doing that all night. This is only happening with her. Why can’t I see our old text and why do new one keep deleting?

If you need help with the transfer

  • Make sure that you leave both devices alone until the transfer finishes. For example, on your Android device, the Move to iOS app should stay onscreen the whole time. If you use another app or get a phone call on your Android before the transfer finishes, your content won't transfer.
  • On your Android device, turn off apps or settings that might affect your Wi-Fi connection, like the Sprint Connections Optimizer or the Smart Network Switch. Then find Wi-Fi in Settings, touch and hold each known network, and forget the network. Then try the transfer again.
  • Restart both of your devices and try again.
  • On your Android device, turn off your cellular data connection. Then try the transfer again.
