iMessages not showing up on text logs

I’ll disagree with the above replies. I know there can be glitches in any system, nothing’s perfect. But me and my wife have had iPhones since 2008 and since iMessage has been available, we’ve used it. Now, with that being said 3 years ago we decided that our 11 year old daughter needed a phone, since she traveled for sports etc. So we got her a iPhone And set up the setting just as we have ours so she knew how to use it, as she got on ours here and there. We had and still have the unlimited talk/text/data plan so we knew cellular data wouldn’t be a problem. And Since as long as I can remember att allows you to review your Previous bills for up to 15 months, current billing cycle included. And I know for a fact on my MyAT&T app (under usage>View additional usage(full website)>select device number>choose between TEXT/DATA or TALK and what billing period you want to review) I’ve been able to see every Incoming/Outgoing text, weather it’s TXT/IM/MMS/SMS or data usage/mobile data. But on every message it shows either the phone number or the contact/nickname next to the DATE and TIME of each incoming/outgoing message. It didn’t ever not show a number or contact name until the first week of April 2020. Now it’s hit or miss. Maybe 4 numbers will show up here and there. And they are usually a verification or reminder text that’s only 5-6 digits long. Neither android or iOS seems to show on a att bill anymore. All data usage. But never missed a number until April 2020!!!

@Dhthom Unfortunately, I cant prove a negative but anyone claiming they have seen iMessages in their ATT text log should be able to prove it, yet I’ve never seen such proof provided. If you can, please do. I bet you can’t.

iMessage is encrypted end to end there is no way att can know it's a text. Now if the iPhone was sending the message as sms then yeah I can see that. As we go away from sms everything is going to show as data only

i Have wondered the same. Picture below is a screen shot from my AT&T bill. The first is my line. My friend Lorrie appears as text/IM. She texted my husband on 5/15 which I saw but it does not appear on his line on AT&T. Settings are the same on our phones.

I don’t know why this posted this morning. I was going threw some forums last night about some questions I had in regards to my bill with att and we I saw the post had been years ago I closed the browser. Got email alerts about responses. Sorry guys. I was googling some of this stuff last night and it’s recently been going on with my att bill. Every number in the last 14 months have been showing up on both call and text and as of April 2020 every number now shows data usage. Only 3-4 numbers have been consistent. But Apple and android have been showing in my detailed billing until recently. Now not even android does. My daughter just turned 14 and afraid she’s hanging with the wrong crowd and Afraid the husband may blow a gasket if he finds out what I think I know. Is there anyway to figure out who she’s text without having to install a app on her phone she could find and delete? A friend told me to use an old iPhone and as long as it has WiFi I could set it up to monitor her phone. Is that true? I don’t really want to know what the text or calls are saying. Just who she’s speaking to all hours of the night. Thanks.
