Hi everyone,
Hoping someone could help me out! Every time I take a photo in my messages it automatically saves into my photos app. I would love for any advice on how to stop this as it’s maxing out my storage.
Thank you!

Hi summah240,
There isn't an option to disable that for your iPhone. If needed, this article shows how to optimize your storage: How to check the storage on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
This article could also be helpful if you use iCloud Photos: Set up and use iCloud Photos - Apple Support Specifically the section below from that article might be helpful:
"If you need more device storage
iCloud Photos keeps all your photos and videos in their original, high-resolution version. To save storage space on your device, you can turn on Optimize Storage.
If you turn on Optimize Storage, iCloud Photos automatically manages the size of your library on your device. Your original photos and videos are stored in iCloud and space-saving versions are kept on your device. Your library is optimized only when you need space, starting with the photos and videos you access least. You can download the original photos and videos over Wi-Fi or cellular when you need them.
If you turn on Download Originals, iCloud Photos keeps your original, full-resolution photos and videos in iCloud and on your device.
On your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch

Take care!
