HI, I'm new here so please forgive me. I've found similar threads but each a little different and not of use with my current products.
I have an iPhone 5S. I used this phone for about 2 years with a regular phone number but am switching carriers and waiting on a new SIM card. In the mean time I have used my iMessage from my phone and iPad via my Apple ID which works fine. That being said, I want to completely erase any iMessage stored on my phone or somewhere out there (ha) - previously someone had plugged in my iPhone to their computer and was able to pull up all my message history that I had "deleted" from just pressing delete. I think they may have used a 3rd party to do this, and/or their iTunes. I have an old Mac with version 10.5.8. This means I can't use the latest version of iTunes (I know, I need to just buy new software but I rarely use my actual computer now that I have an iPad) so I never plug my phone in or back it up or anything.
How can I make sure that my iMessage history is completely deleted from my phone/ipad/icloud or any way that someone could plug it into a computer and see my history? Do 3rd party apps have a way of seeing things no matter what we do? I just want to delete as much as possible.
I hope this all makes sense, if someone could please help me out I would really appreciate it.
Thanks!!!
