Q: how do I transfer pictures from messages on my iPhone to my photo library

Hi Judy, both my mum and dad and i all have a similar problem, we are low on phone memory mostly due to photos and videos stored in our messages.

Is there a more efficient way we can transfer en masse from message storage to photo storage?

It's particularly pertinent for me as some of the videos in one message stream may be used in court in a few years and I'd like to back them up somehow but there are quite a few of them.

Hi hughGoz,

Did you find a way to do this?  I've been looking for a trick to transfer en masse for months....

Hi Judy,

There are a number of people interested in knowing how to transfer photos and videos en masse from Messages into Photos.  I have a lot of memory being used (unnecessarily) by videos and photos that I want to manage, but it's too cumbersome to wade through old message threads to find them... it makes much more sense to have them transfer (en masse) from Messages to Photos where I can easily manage them from there.  I could also really use the hard drive space.

Thanks,

Kelly
