Deleted texts by iOS 18 and inability too permanently recover

After the iOS18 update, I've had texts deleted and, while I can recover them, they will not remain, forcing me to continuously recover them. VERY frustrating.

Hi. I'm a third-party developer - someone who develops apps for Apple's platforms, but isn't actually an employee of Apple, like pretty much everyone else on these Developer Forums.

I can't help you. Neither can the other 99.9% of people on here. You're in the wrong place.

Your question is more of a product support one, so I'd suggest you ask it over at the Apple Support Forums. Thanks.

Thanks so much for your help!
