Why am I missing text messages?

[AC Question]

I have a Samsung Galaxy S7 edge in Sprint and went to look up an old text message and realized that there were many messages that were missing. Pictures that were sent on the same day can be viewed but the text from sms messages is not there.

Ive restarted my device and turned off battery save.

Ive looked for other threads but havent found resolution for my particular problem.

Any tips?

Is there a pattern to the missing texts?
Some SMS apps have a feature where they will delete older texts from the conversation to keep the display speeds fast. Some of these apps with this feature let you pick the count, others might not.

Which SMS app are you using?
