[Q] Messaging app doesn't display more than 500 messages in the single conversation

---

I received from one person more than 500 text messages but only the number "500" is shown. I'm still getting more messages. But the number doesn't grow.

Messages are there. Just the total number of messages is not shown.

Is that a limitation of Messaging App?

in your messaging settings, you can adjust the max number of text messages

If I got anywhere near 500 message from someone I would block them.

I didn't know that this can be configured in Settings.

sounds like you are a forever alone

This explains why my GoSMS backup/restore (when I switched phones) doesn't show all the messages I have with my gf.

I made the change in settings, but does anyone know what will happen if I restore the old messages again?

Will all the new ones I've gotten disappear?

No, they are added on. I've done this countless times before, mostly because I flash too many roms.
