Also, scroll to the top of your message thread and pull down. It should open up older messages saved.

Welcome to iMore!!

You can change your settings on your device to always save your messages. On your iPhone go to Settings > Messages and scroll down to where it says Message History > Keep Messages. Select your option there, either 30 days, 1 Year or Forever. I have mine set to Forever because I'm just sentimental lol.

Hope this helps!
