“In addition to syncing your messages, Messages in iCloud lets you store your messages, photos, and other attachments in iCloud, letting you free up storage space,” Keller writes.

“Messages will also immediately start to appear on new devices after you sign into your iCloud account,” Keller writes, “and once you delete a message thread on one device, it will be automatically deleted on all of your devices.”

Here’s how to enable the new feature:

1.  Go to SETTINGS.

2.  Tap on the Apple ID Banner (near the top of the page).

3.  Scroll down until you get to the iCloud setting – select it.

4.  Tap the switch next to Messages to turn the feature ON.

5.  That’s it.
