iMessages & iCloud Storage & New Phone
I know we've seen these posts before but I don't think I've seen on here anything similar to my situation. My current phone is out of storage and I don't want to upgrade and pay the $10.99 if the solution is to simply clean out my phone and get rid of some stuff. I deleted 90% of my iMessages from my phone, went through the 'Recently Deleted' folder and deleted all those as well. Went on my laptop and wiped my all my messages even from there. When I went back to check on my storage capacity, all those hours of purging seemed to do jack shit and I still can't back up phone. I bought a new phone that I want to switch to, and give this current phone to a family member who can't afford one and needs one for work. Am I really supposed to wait the 30 days for everything to sync up so I can back up properly???? Is there a quicker way to do this so I can give my phone to my family ASAP?
