Hello team
I am experiencing an issue where a completely deleted chat history has suddenly flooded back onto my iPhone.
Here is exactly what happened:
- I previously had a contact saved. We used to talk a lot, but then stopped being friends.
- I completely deleted their phone number from my contacts and deleted our entire messages from my phone.
- Last night, we messaged each other again. It started as a blank, brand-new chat. I saved their phone number back to my contacts.
- This morning, I woke up and discovered that my entire old conversation history with this person has completely reappeared inside the text thread.
Why is my phone bringing back messages that I explicitly deleted in the past? Is there a way to permanently erase this old history so it stops coming back?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
