A lot of <a href=\"https:\/\/apple.stackexchange.com\/questions\/259391\/in-messages-for-ios-can-i-delete-an-individual-photos-from-a-conversation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">people assume<\/a> that if they want to delete a photo or video from a text conversation, they have to delete the entire message &#8211; kind of like how Mail works when you want to ditch a <a href=\"\/blog\/delete-large-attachments-iphone\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">giant attachment<\/a>. But in iMessage, that\u2019s not the case. You can remove a photo or video without wiping the whole chat. Still, there\u2019s a catch or two.<\/p>\n<p>When <em>you<\/em> delete a photo from <em>your<\/em> Messages app, it only disappears from your device. That means if someone sent you the photo, you can remove it from your end, no problem &#8211; but they\u2019ll still have it in their thread unless <em>they<\/em> delete it too. Same goes the other way around. If you sent a photo and then delete it from your text conversation, the person who received it? Yeah, they still see it.<\/p>\n<div class=\"frame_bg frame_bg--default\"><div class=\"frame_bg--title\"><\/div> If you&#8217;re hoping to make a photo or message <em>disappear<\/em> from the other person\u2019s phone, there&#8217;s a small window where that\u2019s possible &#8211; but only with text messages (not media) and only under certain conditions. Apple <a href=\"https:\/\/discussions.apple.com\/thread\/253605782?sortBy=rank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">introduced<\/a> the <em>Undo Send<\/em> and <em>Edit<\/em> features starting with iOS 16. If both you and the person you&#8217;re texting are using iMessage on iOS 16 or later, you can unsend a message &#8211; but only within 2 minutes of sending it. And yes, when you unsend it, it gets removed from <em>both<\/em> devices.<\/p>\n<p>That said, this <b><em>doesn\u2019t<\/em><\/b> apply to photos, videos, or anything sent over regular SMS or MMS.<\/div>\n<p>But let\u2019s get back to your device\u2014if your goal is just to tidy up your local storage and remove photos from text messages, it\u2019s totally doable.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_simple_ways_to_delete_photosvideos_from_text_messages_on_iphone\"><\/span>2 Simple Ways to Delete Photos\/Videos From Text Messages on iPhone<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>We decided, for convenience, to break it into two methods.

If you use another messenger \u2014 WhatsApp, Telegram, Messenger, Signal, or anything else\u2014the process is usually pretty close. You still open the chat, select the photo or video, and delete it. Some messengers even let you delete media for both sides, wiping it from your device and the recipient\u2019s.<\/div>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"method_1_remove_specific_pictures_from_a_messages_chat\"><\/span>Method 1: Remove Specific Pictures from a Messages Chat<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Let\u2019s say there\u2019s one photo &#8211; maybe a screenshot your friend sent of your typo &#8211; that you never want to see again. <b>Here\u2019s how to delete a specific photo in a text message:<\/b><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Open the <b>Messages<\/b> app and go into the conversation that has the photo or video you want gone.<\/li>\n<li>Now, find the exact message bubble that holds the image. Once you do, <b>press and hold<\/b> on that bubble.

Untouched. The photo? Gone. Your typo? Never happened.<\/p>\n<p>We use this method all the time when someone sends something that doesn&#8217;t need to live on in our iPhone. It takes seconds, but your message thread instantly feels lighter.<\/p>\n<p><b>Be aware of what\u2019s saved<\/b>! Deleting a photo from the chat <em>doesn\u2019t<\/em> remove it from your Photos app if you already saved it. If you want it gone completely, check your <b>Photos<\/b> library too.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"method_2_delete_all_photos_in_messages\"><\/span>Method 2: Delete All Photos in Messages<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Ready to go full clean slate? This option\u2019s for you.<\/p>\n<p>It would be way too cumbersome to go through each message bubble by hand, one by one. Not to mention the time it takes. <b>Here\u2019s how to remove <em>all<\/em> photos from messages (and yes videos too):<\/b><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Open the <b>Messages<\/b> app and tap into the conversation.<\/li>\n<li>Then tap the contact\u2019s name or group name at the top. Scroll down a bit, and you\u2019ll see a section called <b>Photos<\/b>.<\/li>\n<li>Hit <b>See All<\/b>, and there it is: every image and video exchanged in that thread, lined up like a visual history book.<\/li>\n<li>Tap <b>Select<\/b>, choose the files you want gone, and hit the <b>trash icon<\/b>.<\/li>\n<li>Confirm the deletion, and you\u2019re done.<img class=\"border-gray aligncenter wp-image-10562\" src=\"\/\/www.insanelymac.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/ios-messages-tp.jpeg\" alt=\"Delete files\" width=\"556\" height=\"600\" \/><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>This works for videos, too &#8211; the app doesn\u2019t make a big distinction between photos and videos in this view. Everything shows up together, side by side. The giveaway? Videos have a little duration stamp in the corner, so you\u2019ll know exactly what you\u2019re looking at before you decide to let it go.<\/p>\n<p><b>One more thing:<\/b> this only clears the media from <em>that<\/em> specific chat. So yeah, you\u2019ll need to repeat these steps for any other threads you want to clean up.<\/p>\n<div class=\"frame_bg frame_bg--default\"><div class=\"frame_bg--title\"><\/div>Remember &#8211; if you delete a picture sent on iMessage, that doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s gone for everybody. You\u2019re only deleting it from <b>your<\/b> device. The other person (or people) in the chat still have their own copy unless they delete it too.<\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"can_i_clear_text_pictures_on_iphone_automatically\"><\/span>Can I Clear Text Pictures on iPhone Automatically?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There isn\u2019t really a built-in way to automatically delete <b><em>just<\/em><\/b> the photos and videos from your text messages &#8211; and yeah, we wish there was too. The only true \u201cautomatic\u201d option Apple offers is to set your messages to auto-delete after a set amount of time, like 30 days or 1 year. That includes everything in those messages &#8211; texts, photos, videos, memes\u2026 all of it. Great for a fresh start, not so great if you\u2019re trying to keep the conversation but lose the photos.<\/p>\n<p>Now, there <em>is<\/em> something kind of close.

You can scroll through and delete them right from there. Super handy if you want to clear those fast without going into each conversation.<\/p>\n<p>Still, this won\u2019t catch everything &#8211; and it definitely won\u2019t touch any pictures or videos that were already <em>saved<\/em> to your Photos app. Once a file leaves Messages and lands in your Photos app, it\u2019s outside this cleanup system. So while this method helps, it\u2019s more of a space-saving tool than a true \u201cdelete text photos only\u201d feature.<\/p>\n<p>But there <em>is<\/em> a way to clean up those saved photos and videos from Messages automatically &#8211; just not with Apple\u2019s tools. You\u2019ll need a little help from a third-party app.<\/p>\n<div class=\"frame_bg frame_bg--success\"><div class=\"frame_bg--title\"><\/div><b>Now, to be clear:<\/b> no third-party app can touch the media files still <em>inside<\/em> the Messages app. Apple keeps that stuff locked down for privacy, and honestly, we get it. But once you save those photos or videos to your Camera Roll (Photos app)? That\u2019s fair game.<\/div>\n<p>Think about it. You save a meme from a group chat\u2026 then save it again\u2026 then maybe a video or three of someone\u2019s dog spinning in circles. Before you know it, your Photos app has turned into a chaotic gallery of duplicates, triplicates, and nonsense. That\u2019s where iPhone cleaners can make a real difference.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve <a href=\"\/blog\/best-ai-cleaners-for-iphone\/\">tested a bunch of these cleaning apps<\/a> over the past year, and if we had to pick one for this kind of cleanup, it would be <a href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/us\/app\/clever-cleaner-ai-cleanup-app\/id1666645584\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>Clever Cleaner: iPhone Photo Cleaner<\/b><\/a>.
