I have several conversations in Messages that go back 8-10+ years across multiple phones and icloud continuation. There are messages that show up in search but when i try to go to them, it doesn’t let me, like it has a limit with how far back you can access.. Considering they’re in the search this makes no sense.

I’ve even tried to scroll all the way back manually and at some point it crashes before it gets back that far.

Any advice for how I can access the whole messages archive in a better way than the app provides? Something that can export the whole history or browse by date etc?

I especially want to be able to store conversations with ill loved ones for posterity..
