How do I download text messages from iCloud? Where will they be stored on my Mac?
What happens when you “Turn off” Messages in iCloud, are you just turning off Messages storage in iCloud or will Messages no longer be sync’ed between devices?
iMac (2017 – 2020)
Go to iCloud.com in a browser>Messages.
OOPs, you're right, no idea where my head was when posting that.:(
Thank you for your response. I logged into iCloud via Safari. Messages does not appear among the apps on my iCloud account.
If I disable “Messages in iCloud” for all my devices via System Preferences, how do I download my Messages to my Mac and where are they stored? I can’t find any information on this process. My goal is to recover the storage space and keep copies of all my Messages. I intend to enable Messages again on both iPhone and Mac.
Catalina "system preferences" "internet accounts" iCloud storage
