On my older iPad (MD520C/A) with iOS 10.3.4, I decided to shorten up some text threads to make more space. I went into one thread, selected a number of items and hit Delete. Then, all threads disappeared except the one from which I deleted items.
I could not figure out how to get them back so I did a reset, but that didn't help.
This is not the end of the world on my iPad as I always transfer pix et cetera to my iMac, and I don't keep any critical data on the iPad. However, it is very disconcerting that such a major loss of data can happen by executing a simple procedure.
It is something I'd like to avoid when I help my wife make space on her iPad Mini2 (FE276C/A) iOS 12.3.4.
Any ideas about what may have occurred? How to avoid another unplanned loss?
