iPhone X How do I delete messages in the cloud?

[Brandonjr36]

i was on iOS 11.4.1 beta then downgraded to 11.3.1 to jailbreak soon. My messages are still in my cloud and it’s making it where I can’t backup since it’s taking up 500 MB’s of storage. How do I delete it?

Click on Manage Storage > Messages > Disable and Delete. That will turn off iCloud messages. Once your messages are deleted, you can turn back on, if you so desire.

Yeah I don’t see where to disable it doesn’t give me the option. I think it’s because I went from iOS 11.4 to 11.3.1 and 3.1 didn’t have message in icloud

I thought it took 30 days for the messages to delete?

They give you 30 days to undo a "disable and delete". They give you the space back though, and if you turn it back on normally (not "undo") they are gone.

So mine will go away within 30 days?

I wouldn’t think so. You need to goto settings and “disable and delete”. If you have another iOS device that you can put on the latest iOS release turn on messages in iCloud and then disable and delete might work.

Maybe a jb tweak will come out to help. Don’t know how well jb tweaks integrate with iCloud though.
