app size just keeps growing to incredible size.. delete unnecessary convos, clear cache regularly.. finally just had the idea to delete media from convos, which had a drastic impact. since I have the setting checked, images are saved to my device. ...why, then, are they also saved within the app itself? could it be an option? like "save media to device/do not save in app" or "save media to device+save in app".. even "do not save media anywhere" I guess.

also, when deleting then manually from within a contact.. there's no select all. selected 632 photos/videos from that contact, individually.
