On iOS, check by going to Settings > (tap your name at the top of the page) > iCloud > Messages
3,676,267. But only 3.64 GB of storage taken up. Guess I don’t send that many photos.
Although that honestly seems bizarrely large to me. I’m not a particularly heavy user of texting, though I have used it as long as Apple’s provided a messaging service.

Also 0, because I keep all of mine in a local encrypted incremental backup. It’s the only way I’ve ever done it. I don’t want any personal stuff on someone else’s computer. Pictures, same thing. It’s the only thing I’ve ever used iTunes for… but it does it really well, it’s very impressive. Every new phone, I plug it into my computer and hit “go” and it’s the exact same phone I had before, but better and faster and with a much better camera (I keep my phones for five or six years hahaha)
I did get a large amount of space through Poroton though, so I may rip everything, encrypt it, and throw the encrypted file on there, to have it offsite. Otherwise multiple on-site backups for all of the most important personal stuff.
Same, turned off most iCloud settings since I don’t want their cloud service ads shoved in my face when I eventually run out

But still 63Kb too much
Less than 700, ~15MB.
And almost all of that is texts from automated systems. I live in the UK; most people here use WhatsApp or Messenger, not SMS/iMessage.
Less than 10k, oldest from 2014. I guess it’s mostly automated SMS notifications.
I delete after 30 days, forever is wild
3k and about one GB. I don’t often use the regular messages.

Over 3.000. Which is strange, since I count only 8 in my Messages app.
55k messages. 121GB. Been on iOS for 2 years.
Holy hell, that seems like a lot of messages. It’s never anything important!
Is that 55k all pictures? How are you using up that much?
