      Also 0, because I keep all of mine in a local encrypted incremental backup. It’s the only way I’ve ever done it. I don’t want any personal stuff on someone else’s computer. Pictures, same thing. It’s the only thing I’ve ever used iTunes for… but it does it really well, it’s very impressive. Every new phone, I plug it into my computer and hit “go” and it’s the exact same phone I had before, but better and faster and with a much better camera (I keep my phones for five or six years hahaha)

      I did get a large amount of space through Poroton though, so I may rip everything, encrypt it, and throw the encrypted file on there, to have it offsite. Otherwise multiple on-site backups for all of the most important personal stuff.

    Less than 700, ~15MB.

    And almost all of that is texts from automated systems. I live in the UK; most people here use WhatsApp or Messenger, not SMS/iMessage.

    Over 3.000. Which is strange, since I count only 8 in my Messages app.

      Although that honestly seems bizarrely large to me. I’m not a particularly heavy user of texting, though I have used it as long as Apple’s provided a messaging service.

    55k messages. 121GB. Been on iOS for 2 years.

    Holy hell, that seems like a lot of messages. It’s never anything important!
