Deleting photos & videos from iMessage

I am reviewing the large attachments in messages and would like yo delete the pictures and videos. If I do, will they also be deleted from my camera roll?

Hey there Wolverwena,


We understand you're wondering if deleting large attachments will delete the photos and videos from your camera roll. We'd be happy to provide information about this.


Deleting the attachments will not delete the photos and videos from your camera roll. If you're concerned and want to secure your camera roll, you can transfer these photos to your computer:
