Read earlier messages within a Max conversation

Load earlier messages expands the selected conversation’s history.

Updated 2026-11-11

A long Max conversation can initially load only its more recent messages. If earlier messages are available, use Load earlier messages above the conversation.

This action expands the history of the selected conversation. It is different from Older in the conversation-history panel, which moves between pages of separate conversation titles.

Wait while Loading earlier messages is shown. The chat tries to preserve your reading position so you can review the newly available material without losing the part you were reading.

If you are searching for the basis of an answer, read the relevant earlier question and context before sending a follow-up. A visible later answer may depend on information you supplied near the beginning. If earlier history fails to load, note the error and retry through the available history controls. Do not assume an older passage was deleted just because it was outside the first loaded page.
