By default, your iPhone and iPad save every iMessage and SMS text message that comes your way. As a result, you could have years of messages synced to iCloud that follow you for the rest of your life, taking up valuable space. Luckily, there\u2019s a way to delete old text messages automatically. Here\u2019s how.<\/p>\n

First, open \u201cSettings\u201d on your iPhone or iPad.<\/p>\n

\"Tap<\/p>\n

In \u201cSettings,\u201d tap \u201cMessages.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"In<\/p>\n

In \u201cMessages,\u201d scroll down and tap \u201cKeep Messages.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"In<\/p>\n

By default, Messages is set to keep your SMS text messages and iMessages forever. Tap either \u201c30 Days\u201d or \u201c1 Year\u201d depending on how long you\u2019d like to keep your old messages.<\/p>\n

\"Select<\/p>\n

After tapp<\/a>ing \u201c30 Days\u201d or \u201c1 Year,\u201d you\u2019ll see a pop-up dialog asking whether you want to delete all messages older than the time period you chose. If you\u2019re sure, tap \u201cDelete.\u201d<\/p>\n

Warning:<\/strong> After tapping Delete, your iPhone will automatically delete all the text messages older than 1 year or 30 days, whichever you chose. You will not be able to get them back.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"Tap<\/p>\n

After that, exit Settings. From now on, Messages will automatically delete any messages once they hit the 30-day or 1-year mark, depending on which option you chose. Happy texting!<\/p>\n
