All my text messages disappeared all of a sudden.
Four people have texted me since and in search I can find the text of their old messages but cannot open them but no other contacts messages.
Phone is on 10.2.1
iPhone 5, iOS 10.2.1
I'm experiencing the same issue. Curious if there ever was a solution. Tried a restart and it didn't work. I notice when I check my storage it says 1.24GB next to messages, so it seems that my messages are still on my phone just not visible to me. I have a iPhone 7 plus. Need a solution badly.
Update:
It worked, but it only went back a month and then the next thing I knew they (the month that came back) were gone again. 😑
This is not the case I just noticed this missing text today and I currently have 64 GB of free space.
I feel violated like something was stolen. Why doesn’t apple respond to this on it site?
Sorry if this is a dumb question, but “push “search”l where? I have a 6s Plus and just lost all of my messages. I’d like to try your fix, i just know where to push search.
Open messages, swipe down to see the search field, then type anything. If nothing happens, you have a bigger problem than I did.
I just had the same problem so closed all open pages, forced quit, switched on again and , hey presto, all messages have returned.
Pull down on your messages after u click it and a search bar will appear at the top over your messages or over where they were.

Also I now have to restart my phone three to four times per day
I have the same problem. Getting tired of Apple. :-(
Months old and no help is very disappointing. I still do not have my messages that I need as well.
Tried that and no luck Just lost all messages and call history
This DOES NOT WORK
Well, I've definitely got a 7+, I definitely pressed the "increase volume" button and the "power" button. Worked for me.
Text messages disappeared
