iMessages and syncing I’m running out of space on my phone (64GB) and am considering the “delete old messages” option suggested in settings, which says it’ll free up about 15GB. I have synced these with my MacBook, and backed up the MacBook to an external hard drive. If I delete the messages on my phone, will it keep them on the MacBook, or will it notice the setting change and delete the old messages there too?

No, and messages take up very little space, so deleting them will not free up much space.

Yes, as long as you are signed in to the same Apple ID on both your Mac and your iPhone.
