iCloud messages updating Is it normal for my iPhone 13 to frequently say uploading messages to iCloud when I pull up my messages app. It usually only last for a couple seconds but seems to be on particular days then it won’t do it for a couple weeks. Could someone be logging into my iCloud and sending messages from a previous device of mine and deleting them? Is this what could cause this? I’ve never seemed to have this issue before unless I was backing up a device from another. [Image Edited by Moderator to Remove Personal Information]

Messages automatically deleting from iPhone Iphone XR, 18.0 - I keep it updated, Keep Messages is set on forever. Almost every time I check recently deleted messages, I find many messages (sometimes 17 or so from one person) with varying days until deletion. Messages are saved to iCloud, where I have 41G unused. Any advice? Thank you.

Someone deleting a message they receive from you on their device has nothing at all to do with your device, or messages on your device.
