Shorten the text message history save time deleting auto pictures and videos shared through text?

Hello community,

I need to free up space on my iPhone 5 s. I realized that most of my space consumed comes from 4.4 GB of saved text messages and images/videos shared through these texts. I love being able to scroll through all the pictures and videos (see the text message, click details), but I know that's where the space is consumed.

Here's my question: if I change my settings to text message to save the texts of "forever" to "1 year", are all the images and videos associated with the thus deleted text messages?

I guess that Yes... this second part of the question: is it possible to easily save these images or access it through a manual backup to the computer?

Thank you

Andrea

    Hello

I deleted my recently deleted folder and follow the instructions of a guy showing a year, which suggests to set my phone date about two years back and deleting the photos recently deleted the file and both of these solutions do not work. I have reset my phone (home and power button operation / stop) and also, it does not work. I don't want to wipe my phone and restore it if possible, but it's the only option I can think of next.

    Are there other solutions before I try this?

    Thanks in advnace

    Hey Ben,

    Thanks for stopping by the communities Support from Apple! Looks like you are trying to free up space on your iPhone by deleting all the photos and videos, and you still see 23.4 GB absorbed by these files. You have already made sure to empty your recently deleted album, fix the date of return on your phone and performed a hard reset on your device. You did an excellent job so far, and I'll be happy to give you some ideas to move forward from here.

    Before diving into other troubleshooting procedures, it would be useful to ensure that you have a recent backup of your iPhone is available. This will help us ensure that all your important data is stored safely for you. Here is an article with information on how to backup your device:

    The backup of your iPhone, iPad and iPod touch

    Once it is in place, I recommend you to reset the settings on your phone. This is not the impact of your personal data, but you will have to perhaps adjust the user specific settings, but also re - enter passwords and Wi - Fi networks. To complete this step, go to settings > general > reset > reset all settings. When you restart your phone, check if the local storage on your phone has updated to reflect the changes you did related to your photos and videos.

    Beyond that, you want to look at your phone erase and reset to the factory settings. It is possible that some kind of software corruption causes the divergence of storage that you are experiencing. Set up your phone as a new device via iTunes install a new copy of iOS and also to exclude the corrupted files, etc. in your user data. This is a resource for this process:

    Use iTunes on your Mac or PC to restore your iPhone, iPad or iPod to factory settings

    For later use, it may be useful to use iCloud photo library to transfer and store your photos. There is a feature that allows you to optimize the storage on your iPhone so that your photos and your videos do not have as much local storage space. Check out this resource to learn more about iCloud photo library:

  • Firefox for android mobile phone said app can access the following on your phone... take pictures and videos? Is there a work around? If not have to uninstall.

    I have Firefox for my laptop and wanted to use it on my phone Android mobile phone. When I saw under permissions that the application can access photos and videos and can take photos and videos that seemed very odd. Does anyone know of a work around to keep the app to take photos and videos without my permission? I do not want to uninstall but can allow the intrusion of privacy.

    We have a help article about why this permission is here: how Firefox for Android uses the requested permissions?

    Specifically, some sites may give you the option to attach or embed an image directly from the camera instead of going through a folder of pictures already taken. In order to support this feature, Firefox requires permissions to access the camera. However, according to this article, Firefox will ask your permission before leaving the site to use the camera. I don't think I have ever seen this in action.

  • Deleted many pictures and applications; photos - 0-available.  Impossible to read or send emails.

    Deleted many pictures and applications; bought 50 GB iCloud storage; Still - 0 - storage on the iPad.  Impossible to read or send emails.  Help!

    Additional storage iCloud purchase will give you more space for your backups, he won't give you more space on your iPad.

    Since the removal of the pictures (you have also emptied the recently deleted album?) have you tried a soft-reset/reboot to see if that frees up space? Press and hold buttons sleep and home for 10-15 seconds (ignore the "slide to turn off"), then the Apple logo should appear and the iPad should restart

  • 'Import pictures and videos' parameters collapsed at work after the installation of Windows Live Essentials

    Hi guys,.
    Today in the morning, when you import pictures from my Canon EOS Rebel Xti, I tried to change some settings in the dialog box "import pictures and videos" and to my surprise the link (button) Options does not work. I used to change the folder where the files would be saved or if the images would be deleted or no device.
    I think that it has become defective after the instalation of Windows Live Photo (Essentials), have you heard of this issue before? Is there a solution? Should I uninstall the Windows Live?
    I prefer to use the dialog box "Import pictures like videos" for most of my daily imports.
    Thanks in advance

  • How can I delete pictures and videos from my USB

    delete pictures and videos from flash drive

    Hello gladstonramjag,

    Remove you the same way as you would from your hard drive. Insert the select flash player, open Explorer Windows, flash player, select the file you want to delete and either right click on it and then in the menu drop-down, click Delete or press Delete on your keyboard simply. You will be asked to confirm that you want to delete the file before be deleted to the trash.

    By the way, if they are large videos then they will simply be deleted and not moved to the trash, so be careful that you have slected the correct video before pressing DELETE.

  • Display the pictures and videos on iCloud drive app issues

    Hello

    My iCloud drive is enabled in my iPhone 6 + and iPad Pro and on the Apple TV. I can see all the photos and videos on my Apple TV. However, when I opened the iCloud reader app on my iPad Pro, no photos or videos are indicated. He is white, except for a couple of documents. I have a subscription of 200 GB and 157GB of available, but nothing shows up on my iCloud drive app in my iPad Pro. Ditto for the iPhone 6 + if I was made to understand the elements are all in the camera app. I took almost all of my pictures and videos on my iPhone and these are uploaded to the icloud drive. Please give me some suggestions as to why they do not appear on my iPad Pro but are visible on my Apple TV. I signed in with the same username and password to iCloud.

    The photo aren't in the iCloud drive application, which concerns the documents.

    Here's what you do;

    You are using Safari go iCloud.com on iPad Pro.

    Once there hold your finger on the circular at the end of the URL field arrow until the Bureau request website. Tap the Office application site.

    Connect to your iCloud account.

    Press photo icon.

  • I deleted by mistake my certificates. Now, I get the error messages trying to connect to gMail, eBay and my bank accounts, etc.

    I recently did some "housekeeping" on my computer and for reasons known only to nini-gods, I delected all my security certificates. Now, when I try to log in to gmail, ebay, my bank accounts or any https:// site, I get a warning message "this connection is Untrusted." I click on the links provided to overcome the safety message, but whenever I return to the site I have to jump through all the hoops again. I see a small box that can be clicked to confirm security exception, but the little box that must be clicked to "make the permanent exception" is always grayed out. I know I'm on the right sites - have been using the links on the personal bar for years without problems. It started right after I deleted the certificates.

    I've tried everything. Firefox RELOADED (use 3.6.4) deleted and reloaded the bookmarks, follow the instructions when I get the error message. Nothing works. As soon as I close the browser, and then go back online, I'm back to error messages.

    Can anyone help?

    COR - el: thanks a lot for this solution. Everything works fine now.

    However, I had a problem with deleting the files. I dragged to the trash, and then tried to access the sites in question and received the same message. I restarted the computer and when I checked the files I was dragged to the trash were right where they were before. The only file that are been trashed was the .txt file.

    So I renamed them as you suggested and now everything works fine.

    Thank you again once - I tried to understand by using the troubleshooting Firefox site, but your explanation was simple and easy to follow.
