Message Media deletion along with message deletion

Deleting a Message log will now automatically remove any Media objects associated with that message whenever applicable. For media objects that are associated to multiple messages, Twilio will continue to store a copy until all messages refering to the media object are deleted. This allows a more intuitive experience when customers issue delete requests on messages containing media. The change will apply to all messaging channels supporting media including MMS, WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger.

More details of the changes to message records and media availability and deletion are published here.
