Your snark is misplaced. My complaint was never a complete lack of functionality, it was that it is not automatable, it has to be done manually, as the commenter above you so tersely but pointlessly, explained step by step.
If you set message history, it’s completely automated. My app size rarely is over 1GB. You can even set the media quality under Data and Storage so it’ll use less storage if that’s a concern.
Settings > data and storage > manage storage > review storage > select the media you want to keep > save
Don’t you love when people don’t even try to look for settings?
