Hello everyone.
The storage on my iPhone is full. Messages takes up 20GB of the storage. On my other Apple products I have a lot of storage.
What will happen to my messages, once I change the messages settings on the full iPhone from “keep messages: forever” to “keep messages: 30 days”?
Will the messages still be there on my other devices, for example my iPad?
Thanks in advance!
iPhone XR, iOS 14
The messages will be deleted on your other devices.
The messages will be deleted on your other devices.
Even if I have all messages in iCloud?
Yes, because you’ve set the parameter to keep for 30 days only.
That is horrible... Thanks for your answer!
The whole point of messages in iCloud is to sync any changes in messages made on one device across all devices. That includes when a message is deleted on any device.
What happens to other devices when I keep messages on one device for only 30 days?
