I have iMessage on iCloud activated and I currently have approximately 10GB worth of iMessage attachments stored on iCloud. Is there a way to batch delete these attachments instead of going one by one in each conversation and manually deleting each file? I tried deleting them on a Mac but the attachments still show on my iPhone. Both my Mac and iPhone have iMessage enabled and both devices are connected to iCloud.

Hi martim.silva,
It sounds like you need some help removing large attachments, and I want to help.
If you go to Settings > General > iPhone Storage > Messages, you should see an option to review large attachments. From there you can check multiple attachments to be deleted all at once.
Here are some more helpful tips to keep your storage available:

Another helpful option to keep your Mac and your iPhone synchronized for Messages, would be to enable the Messages in iCloud option:

Good luck!

Hi martim.silva,
Thanks for taking a look at the recommendations.
If you don't see the recommendation that says Review Large Attachments, you should be able to find all the attachment categories below, including Photos and Videos.
Good luck!

Thank you for the reply! When I follow those steps I see no attachments listed on that settings page
