One of the reasons that cause direct messages disappear, is blocking. When someone blocks you on Instagram, all the conversation between you will disappear automatically. Also, if someone blocks you on Instagram, you can't see their account in Search too.

The first concern when messages are missing is that the account was compromised and contents deleted. Other possibilities include: * Issues with the Apple iOS app or OS-X upgrades with Apple Mail. * Forwarding, filters, or access using POP/IMAP any of which could be deleting messages.

If your Messages icon on Facebook is missing from the left-hand column, then you may have removed it accidentally. To get it back, you need to load a page with all of your account's installed Facebook apps and add it to your favorites.

Your messages may not be showing up in your inbox even though you got a notification of a new message because: The person who sent you the message has actually decided to delete their account before you were able to read the message they sent you. All messages are deleted after an account is closed.

Sorry but if the person has blocked you, they cannot see your dm. No matter how long a message you type and instagram may show it as delivered but the other person will not be able to see your dm.

This is a bug in iMessage that was introduced in iOS 9.3 and still exists in 10.3. Anytime Messages falls out of memory the last message you receive can wrongly change back to delivered. This can happen if you close the messages app, or start a game on your phone, or even visit a website in safari.

When a text message is deleted on the iPhone, it doesn't disappear permanently. First, a copy of it is sent to the network provider. Next, the copy in your phone isn't permanently deleted, but rather marked as "deleted" by the iPhone's internal database.

Facebook Messenger has been hit by a major outage, just a day after the main site broke for many users. ... It is unlikely that the messages have gone forever, but most likely that they are failing to show because they are not being pulled down by Facebook's servers properly.

Your Mac is protecting you from "unidentified developers" by default. By default you can't run apps that aren't downloaded from the app store. Try this: open Preferences->Security & Privacy->General, change "Allow apps downloaded from:" to "Anywhere". That should solve message from coming up.

Maybe Apple will add a more robust system in the future though. You are correct, there are no delivery or read receipts for group messages (regardless of the size). Even when all participants are using iMessage, it will not display either receipt.
