Thanks for reaching out tirth263,
It sounds like you want to disable the option to delete old conversations. We can help.
A good place to start is with these steps to Delete messages and attachments on iPhone:
Automatically delete old messages
You can delete messages and attachments that are older than 30 days or a year old, on an ongoing basis.
1. Go to Settings> Messages.
2. Scroll down, tap Keep Messages (below Message History), then choose an option.
Important: If you choose an option other than Forever, your conversations (including all attachments) are automatically removed after the specified time period elapses.
For messages already deleted, there is a short period where they can be recovered:
Deleted messages and attachments remain in your Recently Deleted folder for up to 30 days, and you can recover them.
Hope that helps.
Take care.
