Messenger photos disappearing

My shared photos in messenger disappeared, and now when i click “view media,files and links”, there are only like 24 photos. But when I search in conversation, I can see photos. Neither of us deleted the conversation as well and the same goes on both of us.

iPhone 15 Pro Max, iOS 17

Photos in message chat unavailable My photos that are in my message chats all get to the completed circle to be downloaded that it instructs me to do by tapping on the photo and when I soft hold over the photo I get option on top “reply” and option below “more” and when I click on “more” it’s only allowing me to check mark it to be deleted.

Deleted Photos reappearing in iMessages I have several photos I deleted and have permanently deleted. There are no photos in the hidden folder or the recently deleted folder. However, the deleted photos are showing up in iMessage when I click the add photo button to add a pic to a text message. When I scroll down, the pics are there somehow. How can I fix this?

‘Shared With You’ photos not showing in Photos So I’m having issues with the ‘Shared With You’ section in Photos. Several friends have sent me pictures through iMessage but when I go to my Photos app and tap on the ‘For You’ tab all that shows is a message that reads “Photos scans your library to offer content curated for you. Connect your iPhone to power overnight to continue scanning.” The annoying part is that the ‘Shared With You’ function seems to be working fine everywhere else. If someone sends me a Safari link, for example, when I open Safari the link shows up immediately under the ‘Shared With You’ section. The only way I can get the photos to appear in my Photos app is if I save them to my phone manually which isn’t a big deal but this function was working perfectly before. Whenever I received a picture through iMessage it would almost immediately show up in ‘Shared With You’ in my Photos app. I’ve searched and tried everything. I made sure I’m running the most recent software update (iOS 17), I have tried restarting my phone, I have checked to make sure that the ‘Shared With You’ option is turned on in Messages, I’ve made sure that I didn’t hide alerts for any of my contacts, I’ve signed out/signed in to my iCloud, and I even reset my phone and still it won’t work. If anyone has a solution/fix that would be great. I receive pictures and videos from friends and family all the time and it’s nice being able to see those pictures in my Photos without having to actually save them in my phone first.
