Delete messages on Mac but NOT on iPhone
I own multiple apple devices and am struggling with everything being duplicated across multiple devices and clogging up ridiculous amounts of storage.
I need to remove the messages that are on my Mac to free up space. I don't want these deleted off my iPhone - I just don't want 3 or 4 copies (plus iCloud backup) of everything.
Is this possible? If it is possible how do I do it?
It would be nice to be able to continue to respond to text messages using my Mac, but without the storage-hogging long term copies. However, if the only option is to delete the app to get the storage I am willing to do that.
This question has been posted before - but I could not find clear answers. To answer the questions that were asked on other threads I found.
How much space? Too much. Enough that it is causing me issues.
Do I really want to do this? Yes, yes I really do. I have no use for being able to look at old messages on my computer, I have a phone for that. It is nice to be able to respond to a current conversation as I type quicker with a keyboard than using my phone.
Doesn't this defeat the point? It doesn't work for me - it may work for others, but it is not helpful for me. Personally I would prefer to be able to keep devices quite separate and decide what happens on each one individually.
