messages taking up a lot of icloud space but top conversations taking up very little of the storage My iCloud storage has been full for multiple weeks now, and messages is taking up 5.2 GB, while it says top conversations is 7.7 MB. I have turned off iCloud for many, many apps, and even with that, it does not help much. Is there a way to make it better? I have photos backing up to google photos to preserve space. Also, WhatsApp is apparently taking up 8 GB in backups; anyone know anything to help with that?

how to delete oldest messages with pictures from icloud to free up space I have extended my iCloud back up but it is almost full with a lot of space dedicated to my messages that quite often have pictures and videos attached. I want to clean up my oldest message first. How do I do that?

How to free up iCloud Message storage? I'm trying to free up space in my Icloud, and post of my storage seems to be taken up by messages, 27.7 GB to be exact. I've followed all the recommended instructions like setting my messages to delete after 30 days, I've deleted conversations and attachments, and this only reduced the number of messages in my Icloud down by around 400. It now says I have 69,729 messages in my cloud and I have no idea where they're coming from. I need a way to delete these thousands of magic invisible messages so that I don’t have to keep paying for more storage as a broke university student. [Re-Titled by Moderator]
