It has become so easy to send a picture message on an iPhone that it might be something you do without even thinking. And if you do not periodically delete conversations from the Messages app on your device, then you may have a surprising number of images and attachments that have been sent as part of that conversation. But scrolling through a long conversation to find a specific image or attachment can be tedious, which can leave you looking for a better option.
Fortunately there is a place in an iPhone conversation where you can view all of the conversation attachments without the actual text messages that were sent between them. This provides a convenient way to view or find attachments in one location, and can save you a lot of unnecessary scrolling.
