How to disable ‘Auto Delete Old Conversations’ on iPhone? I accidentally enabled the ‘auto delete old conversations’ when I was looking at how to make space in my storage for installing a new iOS. How do I disable it? I have my messages under keep forever, but the check mark is showing beside the auto delete old conversations. Has this happened to anyone else? And how have you fixed it?

Hello Pepp58,

Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!

You should be able to change that setting in Settings > Messages, it'll be the "Keep Messages" setting.

Hope this helps!
