Lost All Text Messages

I woke up this morning and every one of my texts was gone, including ones that were locked.  I don't use an outside app for texting and my settings were not set so old messages get deleted.

 

Does anyone know why this happens?  It seems like it's happened to a lot of others.  Very annoyed.

happened last week to me, in the middle of the day! I was replying to my daughter one minute, the next time I replied there were no more text messages shown from her, and anyone else I had for that matter!

The only time I have lost messages was when I was force closing apps as I must have closed one too many, so I no longer do that.

 

There is a free app named, 'SMS Backup'. I have had it since I last screwed things up. You set up an email address for text messages to be forwarded to along with sending the messages to the phone.

 

I set up a specific Gmail account, just for text messages.

Well, it's happened for the fourth time today.  I don't get it.
