2. Keep your software updated. Outdated software may lead to a variety of problems including message loss. Therefore, you should install the update once Apple releases a new one.
3. Free up space regularly. Although Apple increasingly expands the internal storage of the iPhone, it cannot catch up with the users' needs. If your iPhone does not have enough space, your messages may be removed. After backing up your device, you can delete useless data and apps.
4. Learn at least one way of iPhone message recovery. Today, data recovery is not a big problem if you master the right way. The Recently Deleted folder, for example, can be used to get back the messages that you deleted within 30 days.
5. Change Message History settings. By default, iOS keeps your messages for 30 days. It means that the Messages app only keeps old messages for 30 days. Nevertheless, you can change the duration to keep your message history. Choose 留言 在你的 設置 app, tap the Keep Messages option under Message History，並選擇 Forever. When prompted, confirm the changes.
6. Ask for help from your carrier. If you cannot find the deleted messages on your iPhone memory, chances are that they have been overwritten. In fact, your messages go through your network carrier when you send or receive them. In other words, your carrier stores these messages for a period. You can contact your carrier in the nearest store, and submit a request. The support team will help you recover the messages. Of course, the requirements are varied depending on the region and your carrier.
