Can I export all photos stored in iMessage

I have almost 10 gigs of attachments in Messages. Is there a way to export them all at once before deleting the messages from the phone. I have almost 4 years of conversations saved in Messages (13.71GB) and I dont delete them because I dont want to lose the attachments. However, this is a lot of photos to manually save one at a time. I was hoping there was a way to download them all at once.

iPhone 7 Plus, iOS 12

You can’t select every photos at once, but you can bulk select photos in a specific conversation thread.


Go to the conversation that has photos that you want to save.

At the top of the screen, tap near the contact name

Then tap the info button button under the contact name

Swipe down to see the photos

Swipe down to See all Photos

Tap Select in the upper right

Select each photo individually

Then Tap Save to save them all
