jump to repliesWhat’s everyone’s personal preference on messaging retention? For the longest time I was “keep all messages forever”. I just switched to delete after 30 days.
EDIT: to clarify I mean iMessage, WhatsApp, Signal, etc (I don’t know what the RCS app on Android is).

back to top@bryan iMessage, for legal reasons, keep forever. My research involves some complex connections and conversations.
@Catawu
You can still go through and delete personal conversations? Or do you have to let whoever looks at the device decide what’s personal?
Glad I never had a legal hold!
@bryan It’s not a ‘legal hold’ but self-protection in case someone denies. Also, key information stays in there until I use it —e2e encryption. I delete the non-essential convos typically every week.
