Unable to recover messages on my iPhone 15 Pro

My messages are set forever and they delete everyday. I called apple and they checked all my settings and everything was correct but the person I spoke with had not encountered the issue. So my messages are still deleting

Same issue here - has anyone found a fix?

Every day I find 2K+ messages from a single contact are in the Recently Deleted section of messages. I restore the messages every day and yet they continue being deleted on their own every day. The days until permanent deletion continues to count down, now at 12 days.

The deleted messages span from the beginning of our text history up through a certain date, but subsequent messages are not impacted.

I have iMessage enabled in iCloud on both my iPhone 14 Pro Max (iOS 17.6.1) and MacBook Pro (Mac OS Sonoma 14.6.1). Both iPhone and MacBook are set to keep messages Forever and to sync messages to iCloud.

The messages are not being deleted from the MacBook. But, if the messages do get permanently deleted from the iPhone in 12 days, I don’t know if they will also be permanently deleted from iCloud and thereby also disappear forever from the MacBook.

These are messages are deeply personally important - though this issue is completely unacceptable regardless of the nature of content since it’s an ongoing issue across multiple users and Apple is well aware based on multiple complaints and calls with support to fix it.

I’ll call Apple as well & post any solutions.

This is happening to me too. Every day imessages that I’ve recovered get sent back to recently deleted. I also have imessages set to keep forever.

I am having the same problem.

I am having the same issue. I accidentally deleted an important thread. I recovered them, but they keep auto deleting after a couple of days. So frustrating. We need a solution.

Same issue for me. Messages that I tried to recover are back into recently deleted every morning.... Using all latest software on Mac, iPad and iPhone.

Called last week 7/18/24 showed them everything. Supposed to be calling back today. Still having the issue. Kinda stinks bc this thread is super important

Messages deleting themselves

I have the same problem with the latest update. Please fix this with another update. I cannot keep going to deleted messages and recover. I thought Apple was better than this. Please help

I’ve been having this same problem for the past month with only one contact thread and it happens every time my messages sync to iCloud.

Have you spoken to anyone from Apple?

Has this problem been fixed? This is so frustrating!

My settings have always been set to keep forever and my text messages continue to delete on their own

Same thing happening / has been happening. I don’t see any recent reports or updates. Is it fixed or fixable, or still happening to anyone else?

Messages STILL being deleted even though it’s on FOREVER !

Having the same issue. Ever figure out how to fix it?
