If I were to add a phone number to receive my messages today, would they be able to see all of my old messages or just the ones I begin to receive after I add them?

No one should be able to see your messages. Why do you think someone can? Just because you add a phone number to Messages doesn't change that.

iMessage Conversations from Old Phones I've had a few Apple devices since I got my first phone several years ago. I believe I've had the same Apple ID since then. I was wondering if there is any possibility that I can access the iMessage conversations I've had since then. I just need the conversations from one number - it's really important to me. If there's any possibility or someone I can contact, please let me know. Thank you!
