I don't know why this occurs, but it's never caused an unwanted deletion. For example, I deleted one video (and it didn't have any reactions on it, such as a heart or thumbs up) and the confirmation message said Delete 3 Messages. When I select multiple videos or images to delete from the Messages app, a button appears confirming that I want to Delete X Messages, and the X number is often wrong. This second quirk happens on iPhone specifically. If you're tidying up, be sure to do it in all the places where you use Messages. In other words, I can delete videos sent over text from my phone, but they still appear when I open Messages on my computer. In my experience deleting videos and images from Messages, I've noticed three quirks.įirst, even though I sync Messages between macOS and mobile devices, deleting the images and videos from one location doesn't delete them from the other.
