Is it possible to find old messages in a chat that I can't scroll to see all history???

[Android Central Question]

I am in this group chat (SMS messaging) where people sent a lot of messages at once, and it doesn't let me scroll up to see the chat history, as it stops at a certain text with this yellow bar when you try to scroll higher. Is there a way for me to still find these messages on my phone so I can read them.

You'll have to see if your messaging app is set to purge older messages to save space, and see if there's a maximum number of messages in each conversation.

Additionally - what phone are you using and what messaging app are you using? Knowing that information, members can give better than generic answers as I have done...
