Does Your Phone Automatically Delete Text Messages
Text messages are sent from a phone to another phone. When you send a text message, it is saved on your phone. If you delete a text message, it is deleted from your phone.
Why Does Android Delete My Texts
One possible reason why your text messages might be disappearing on Android is because of recent app updates. If you’ve had recent app updates installed on your phone, they might be affecting your text messages. If you can’t remember how many app updates you’ve had, you can check by going to Settings > System > About phone. If you’ve had more than one recent app update installed, you might need to uninstall some of them before your texts will reappear.
Another possible reason your text messages might be disappearing is because your phone’s date and time are not updated. You can check to see if your phone’s date and time are updated by going to Settings > Date & Time. If they are not updated, you’ll need to update them.
Android system or app version might need an update in order for your text messages to reappear. If you’ve checked for updates and your text messages still aren’t showing up, you might need to update your Android system or app.
Sometimes text messages can disappear because Android system or app needs to delete them in order to free up storage space. If you’re having trouble seeing your text messages because they’re being deleted, you can try restarting your phone or deleting some of your text messages.
Are Text Messages Stored on Android Phone
Android phones save all text messages by default. If you only have a SIM card, you cannot see the text messages saved on the phone. If you want to save them on the SIM card or SD card, you have to manually move them to the SIM card one by one yourself.
Where Are Deleted Text Messages Stored on Android Phones
Android phones delete text messages after they are sent or after a certain amount of time has passed. If you want to get ahold of a text message that has been deleted, you can usually do so by using an app that backs up your phone’s data, or by restoring a backup that you made.
In summary
If you have old text messages that you no longer want on your phone, you can delete them by going to your phone’s Messages app and selecting the message you want to delete. You can also delete a message by pressing the trash can icon on the bottom left corner of the Messages app.
