Same issue with iPad. I didn’t notice who the message was from, just the text which made no sense because it was asking me to tell someone this person was in their way and I don’t know who they were referring to. Wondering if they sent text then deleted it before I unlocked and went to messages. So the notification was on lock screen but actual message had been deleted once I got to messages app. Don’t k or if full texts are delivered and received into the messages app while locked or if just a brief header is received until unlocked.

This has been happening to me for a while now. At first I wasn't sure, but now it is clear that the messages are disappearing. I get a notification, I look at my phone, I see a text and can read the initial section, I unlock my phone, the text is nowhere to be found. This is happening for work and has lead to several upset clients and lost business. Please help solve this.
Hi Kbryant!
This problem that you are having MAY be occurring due to you turning off the phone before the message is sending, OR, you can change your iMessage settings to "persistent" which may help.
I changed the settings for iMessage to persistent...so far it seems to be helping...all you have to do is go to settings...notifications...message...then turn it to persis
Yes me too, exactly the same as you
Same here. I also hear the text come in! Where are the responses now? Anyone solve this? I was looking right at my phone when a text notification came in and poof no text in messages.
I have the same issue (for several weeks now). Has this been solved? Which network are you on?

Thanks, that seems to have worked
Anyluck? Mine just started doing it
Same thing happens to me so I have now put my phone in ‘plane’ mode at night rather than switch off. Which network are you on. I’m with 3. Trying to see if this is network or phone issue.
Verizon. iPhone 6s.
This describes exactly how to reproduce the issue.
Hasn’t been happening for long I suspect it’s since 11.2.6
Hardware: iPhone 6s
iOS: 11.2.6
Carrier: TELUS
It is my guess that you have way too many stored text threads delete them and you’ll see that your Phone Won’t do that anymore cheers.
This may work but it is super annoying to have to do all the time & with the money one spends on Apple phones I am not accepting that I can NEVER turn off my phone!?
It is not a carrier issue as I have a different carrier. It seems to be happening to iPhone 8 & earlier. HELLO APPLE ANYONE LISTENING & TRYING TO HELP HERE?
