I choose to believe there's need for some extra storageUh oh someone has naughty photos they shouldn't have
As for the OP, why is doing this difficult for you?

It's mundane and 199x's to have to have to select each and every picture attachment I would like to delete. Although I am not in need for storage (128 gb 6+). Storage is a premium, its a $1,000 phone that I would like to maximize every penny I spent and not waste it on useless photos in iMessage.
disregard the music...after deleting all my music for some reason it still appears
[doublepost=1458554823][/doublepost]I would love to also reclaim space from Spotify, Facebook, Chrome, GroupMe, Messenger, IG lol
ridiculous

In many apps, there's the option to 'Clear Cache' with which you can reclaim space. For facebook's apps AFAIK you gotta delete then reinstall.
As for iMessage, is deleting the conversation thread a no-go?
These are scenarios apple lacks the foresight to address, apparently.
In Android, you can just 'Clear Data'.

Apple has the foresight to extract more money from your pocketbook.
Unfortunately its a case off individually deleting them, I make a habit of doing this every month or 2. It's amazing how many photo's can store up over time.
I open the message string, click details top right, scroll to attachments, press and hold for the popup menu, select more, select the photos I want to delete and click the trash can. I do not know a way to say delete all photos from all message strings. Generally speaking, my messages are set to delete after 30 days so I rarely worry about it. Not for everyone though. My kids for example have over 10GB in Messages at times because they like to save everything. I don't.
write feedback to Apple, thats what I am doing. I cant believe theres no "Delete All" for iMessage attachments on iOS either ... it works on Mac. My cousin had 20 GB of iMessage attachements from never deleting anything and it even crashed the app when i tried to delete pictures one by one (which would have taken a lifetime anyway).
in the meantime i started to go through my iMessage attachments every other week to delete them before they become too much

When you go into photos, go to all photos, click select and just drag your finger selecting all that are displayed on the screen. You will need to scroll to continue to select the photos.
I did find one through google search...
I am using the freeware version.....I think it starts with the $20 for a one year license
Any software that claims they can remove or change and iOS internals (including data) are lying. Do't trust everything you see on the internet. Apple does not allow access to system internals.
They're legit
the scan accurately picked up everything

I just do not want to pay $20

Just because they are able to scan the phone and list out apps doesn't mean they have access to the internals. The utility is similar to other ones (like ifunbox). All they can do it use the same protocol as itunes to read some specific data form the phone, read your backup files etc. They cannot help you in deleting in pictures form your imessage thread.
