What so special about cloud message?
Syncs your messages between devices, delete on one device it deletes on the others, all your messages are backed up even when starting as new, and you'll save storage as old messages will get removed until you need to view them.
hi
thanks for helping to clarify what iMessages in the cloud is.
question:
"you'll save storage as old messages will get removed until you need to view them"
i dont understand: you can delete them but can get them back somehow?
While it is a useful feature I'm thinking it's just an excuse for Apple to force you to upgrade your iCloud storage as messages can eat up storage quickly. Therefore I'm not gonna be enabling the feature whenever it fully releases and on the betas.
True I guess. I set my phone to delete the messages after 30 days and don't use iMessage enough on other devices to care if they're synced.Why not? Won’t the messages eat up space on your phone if you don’t clear them? Might as well enable it but continue to clear it as well in that use case. You gain the benefit of them syncing between devices and you can clear space on all devices at the same time.
