Hello, I currently have an iPhone 8 64GB, with 17GB free and it's on 12.1.3 (the latest update to date).

For the past few days, my messages from one specific conversation have been disappearing; at least I've only noticed it in one. My phone indicates that the last message was sent on 05/03/19 in the details to the right in the main SMS menu...
Some of my sent messages in that particular conversation often date back to around 8 AM, even though it’s the middle of the day.

I think the problem stems from an adjustment I made to force the download of a heavy app over the cellular network: Settings > General > Date & Time > I turned off "Set Automatically" and moved the date forward a few days, then once the app was downloaded, I turned it back on and it immediately indicated the Paris time zone.

I've tried turning it off, starting it up, and restarting it but nothing works!
Thanks in advance for your help!

    I forgot to mention that it no longer vibrates or makes a sound when I receive a text message; I only see the dot on the app, so if I don't think to check, I don't see the messages I receive...
