iPhone storage fills up fast. Photos, apps, videos, and downloads all compete for space, but one storage hog flies under the radar: text message attachments.

Group chats with hundreds of photos, funny videos forwarded months ago, duplicate screenshots — all of it sits in Messages consuming storage you didn't realize was being used.
