Photo doesn’t delete from iMessage!

i deleted a photo from I message but it is still in the info on the contact. I’ve tried turning off my phone, installing the new update, but nothing works. I’ve tired viewing attachments but don’t see it there. Please fix this bug!

DELETE PHOTOS AND ATTACHMENTS DIRECTLY

  1. Press and hold any image or attachment. On the menu that shows up, tap More... to enter selection mode.
  2. Tap to select the photos and attachments that you want to delete. The Messages app tends to lose your selections if you scroll too far away from your initial selection, so do keep that in mind. Once you are done, tap the Trash icon, and then tap Delete Messages to confirm.


WARNING: Do not tap the Delete All option to the upper-left corner of the screen. That will delete the entire conversation thread.


Thanks.

First, this is a user-to-user forum. No one here (with VERY limited exceptions) works for Apple. So we cannot fix a bug. I suggest you send any such suggestions directly to Apple:

Having said that, I suggest you clarify you problem. It's somewhat confusing and I don't know how to help. On one hand you "deleted a photo from I message" but on the other hand " it is still in the info on the contact" (what does this mean) and finally you say you don't see it in attachments (so it is deleted?). Try rephrasing your problem.

Oops didn’t realize - sorry. Yes it is confusing because in the text string the photo isn’t there. Not there when I try viewing large attachments through the settings. I know I deleted the photo but if I go to info on the contact to view photos, links etc the photo shows up. Doesn’t make any sense. I try to select and delete and it doesn’t delete. So yeah it doesn’t make any sense because what should happen doesn’t happen
