A few seconds of video on a recent phone is quickly the size of thousands of text messages. So the size of a text message is basically zero. So deleting text messages for the sake of storage is ridiculous

Also not every phone is even capable of storing arbitrary files.
- steinvakt2 1y agoI'm not saying that text messages don't need storage space. I'm saying that they require so little that it's pointless to delete text messages. And it seems like you are deliberately trying to not acknowledge that. Are you now going to say that you once deleted a text message and saw 1 kb storage freed or what
- 1718627440 1y agoAnd I am saying that this is highly subjective. In fact there are phones that require you to regularly delete message, so you can receive new messages. This can also lead to a habit that persist even when using a newer phone. I also delete kb-sized files on my computer, even when my partition size is measured in GB.
