I have been having an issue with texts that I am sending being received by the recipient but disappearing from my thread. This seems to only affect other Apple users.
I have tried the following based on looking up information on the internet.
1) iCloud syncing issues. My phone is the only Apple device and I don’t have iCloud at all. It’s not a situation where I’m sending a message on a tablet and not seeing it on my phone. I literally just have a phone.
2) iMessage is properly set up. It’s attached to the correct phone number. The messages are received, just not showing up for me.
3) restart app/phone/airplane mode
4) there is nothing in recently deleted
5) texts are on keep forever and the texts that are disappearing are disappearing within hours of sending them
6) I have the current iOS
Please help if you can.
