If I have my messages app set to automatically delete, lets say after 7 days and the message(s) to delete has/have attachments, will the attachments to that message also be deleted after that 7 day delete setting or are the attachments stored on the device after the text portion of the message was auto deleted? Thank you
Robert: The attachments should be deleted, yes.
Great lesson today. Filing is about retrieval, not putting things away so the less you have to plow through when you want to find something, the better off you are.
Thanks bunches

Thanks for another great video. If I save a Messages image to Photos and then delete it from Messages, doesn’t it still take up the same amount of storage on my device. Isn’t the image simply in Photos instead of Messages?
Bob: Yes, but isn't that where you want the photos you save permanently? The idea is to keep the photos you really want in Photos, delete the rest so nothing is in Messages taking up space there. Also, not everyone uses iCloud for both Photos and Messages.
