Hello, is there a time limit for storing messages in iCloud folders? In Outlook, as an example, my company deleted them after 6 months.

Hello Christopher,


Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. We understand that you have questions regarding how long you can store messages for in your account. The great news is you set the timeframe you'd like to keep your messages for. If you go to Settings > Messages > Message History you have the option of selecting 30 Days, 1 Year or Forever. If referring to iCloud email, your messages are saved until you decide to delete them.


Hope this helps!
