With some devices, read message may default to be labeled as an "old message". I suggest you reset the message setting to the original default setting and power cycle the device. If it's still happening then it may be a device malfunction and that would be covered by the warranty.

Hi there! We are aware an issue which may cause texts or MMS to disappear from the messaging application after opting into our AT&T Messages Backup & Sync Service. 

 

We are currently working with Samsung to deliver a software update to correct this behavior. Please see here for more information - Disappearing messages on Samsung smartphones with AT&T Messages Backup & Sync

 

Thank you for your patience as we work to resolve this issue.

Go into the messaging settings and turn off "delete old messages".

it's deleting recent messages, not the older messages.

Do the OS Update that released yesterday, and let us know if that resolves it.

This is NOT the solution. The problem is with the AT&T Messages Backup option which needs to be turned off for Note 4 until the issue is resolved. Please make the response from AT&T as the solution.
