How do I remove/reduce Message attachments??
Hey hi Hello!
Here's my question and partial solution.
Like many others I have been getting an iCloud full message, repeatedly. Knowing enough I investigated to find my Messages were taking up the bulk of the free 5gb. After a little time of research the first change I made was setting the Settings > Messages > KEEP MESSAGES to 1 year and NOT forever. However, that did not even budge the storage bar down.
Then the next obvious problem is the number of photos and attachments I send through through iMessage and MMS. This is also where I am confused.
On my laptop I went into User > me > Library > Messages > Attachments and threw the whole folder into the trash and emptied it. That SHOULD have been the solution??? But I am still seeing the attachments on my iPhone?
How do I remove/reduce these images/attachments and clear out my iCloud storage of them??
Just to note. I have already tried the iPhone road.. But I am also hitting a road block there.
Messages > Name > Info > Images ..... there is NO WAY TO REMOVE THEM !! I think they forgot to include the delete option..... OR am I am just missing something obvious?!?!
Thanks for reading! I look forward to getting this fixed!
