Is he lying to me about the messages?

The other day my boyfriend was in the other room and he left his iphone 5 with me. When you type a certain word in the search bar it will bring up everything on the phone including that word. Even text messages even if they've been deleted from your inbox so I searched the word love thinking it would be all our messages and I wanted to look back through them but there were messages from a couple other girls so I asked him about it and he said they're from before we were together, but we've been seeing each other about 6 months. I want to believe him but I have an iphone 4s and the messages when i search love in my phone don't go back that far. Is it possible for it to be true that these messages are from 6 or 7 months ago and they're just showing up out of order or is he lying?

Added (1). They're deleted messages so I can't go look at one specifically.

You should've opened those text conversations to see the dates that they were sent. Try getting his phone again and do that.

Its easy to clear that, not sure why he didn't lol

  • Is this paypal seller lying to me? Recently, I was scammed into paying for someone's item for them, thinking i was buying an iphone 6. I spoke to the seller and they agreed that they would send the money back when i close the dispute. The amount was £170.10 but they claimed that only 136 pounds was deposited back into their account and that is what they sent me. Were they lying to me as I'm trying to think of what to do next.

  • Is she lying about texted photos directly saving to camera roll? Basically I need to know if my friend is telling the truth when she says photos texted to her phone automatically get saved to the Camera Roll (she has an iPhone). Doesn't matter if it's a default or configured setting, but just is this a possible thing for iPhones (I don't have one).
