Q: Messages Not Showing

When I went to my messages today they are not showing up, still says 1.9g of messages in storage but not showing up in the messing app. I just restored the iphone to factory and loaded my most recent backup. The messages are still not showing, the storage went down but now every time I check storage it continues to go up. Its like its loading the messages but they are not populating on the messaging app. Any suggestions? also tried network reset and that didn't work either.

iPhone 6, iOS 9.2

Try the following?

Settings > Messages, log out of your AppleID in Messages settings
Shut down the phone
Power it back on
Settings > Messages, login to the AppleID you use for messages.

Also, the following article has some other tips about checking that you haven't blocked your own number, etc:
