https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Samsung-Apps-and-Services/Messages-app-retention-policy/m-p/2578437#M87304 <P>Hello. We have users who are using S21 and other phones with the Messages app for their text messaging. I was curious about what the retention policy was on these devices? How long does it keep the messages? Does it delete them ever? Is there a folder that they can be found in?</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>Thank you!</P> Fri, 09 Jun 2023 21:44:26 GMT Questions1 2023-06-09T21:44:26Z https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Samsung-Apps-and-Services/Messages-app-retention-policy/m-p/2578437#M87304 <P>Hello.

AFAIK they remain forever on your phone until the user deletes them.&nbsp;</P> Fri, 09 Jun 2023 17:06:17 GMT https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Samsung-Apps-and-Services/Messages-app-retention-policy/m-p/2578567#M87316 LongHiker 2023-06-09T17:06:17Z
