Why are my messages deleting / not saving? How do I get them back?

[Android Central Question]

I have a LG G6 phone. In group messages it only saves messages from two days ago, all other messages and pictures are gone.

Welcome to Android Central! Is that only with group texts? So other one-on-one message threads are still intact? Do you have tons of messages saved on the phone? If so, the messaging app might be automatically deleting older messages to make space. There's usually a setting for this in the app's menu.
