iMessage to iCloud - How can I free up storage and save messages?

I’d like to free up some storage on my phone, and one of the easiest ways seems to be deleting iMessage or text threads. Is there a way to clear iMessages/texts off of my phone, but access them somewhere else or at a later time?

Go to settings, messages, scroll down & select keep messages forever.
