    iPhone XS Max How Do I Save All iMessage Pics/Videos in Bulk?

    My iMessage app is taking up like 40GBs on my Max, and I'd like to clean that up a bit. Unlike WhatsApp, iMessage doesn't save everything you receive into the camera roll. Is there an easy way to just export all pics and videos? If not, what's the best option?

    Why won't non-iOS device sent text messages delete on Watch when deleted on iPhone?

    Any idea why Apple hasn't added this fully message sync to the Watch? Standard (non-iOS sent) SMS messages just pile up on the Watch and need to be removed manually one at a time.

    The case for iMessage on other platforms

    Since Facebook has been trying to look like they care about privacy, I feel like it is the best time for Apple to make iMessage with Facetime available on a lot more platforms. Find a way to monetize it. Integrate photo backups and sell iCloud storage for example. Make an in-app Store and allow...

    iPhone iOS12.2 iMessage - Audio message disappears if rotate to landscape

    I just want to ask if anyone has the same issue with iMessage. When you are in a dialog with a person that can receive iMessage just record a message and then rotate your phone to the landscape mode (without sending the message). For me the audio message just disappears. Anyone has the same issue?
