Haven’t read through all of the comments yet, but I wonder if anyone is having problems with voicemails not showing up as deleted after they have been deleted?
Somehow I found “stolen device protection” turned on because I was trying to change my passcode and it required me to wait an hour for this feature to be disabled.
If you left that countdown screen it would stop the cancellation process you have to start over.
That’s because deleted messages aren’t actually deleted yet. Like with photos they are kept for 30 days. If you go in messages and hit edit you’ll see there’s a new “deleted messages” section now.
No Ive known about that for years. I manually go to messages app hit edit hit deleted messages and DELETE THEM. That deleted messages is a feature thats been there since ios 16 I think. Thats not what im talking about. Im talking about going into settings>general>iphone storage>messages and the photos were in there EVEN AFTER I had deleted them from my deleted messages section in the messages app.
