Fix 4 Wait for some time:

When Apple releases a new iOS version, many a times iMessages get lost in the update.  It appears to be an issue with Apple’s servers issue.  May be due to very high demand on those servers, your messages are not downloaded from the server right away. So wait a few days and see if Apple’s servers work and download all your iMessages.
