"Messages" appears to have disappeared from Google Takeout. Does anyone know why Google removed it, or if there is an official notice or explanation?

I don't know if this is the case but trying to export RCS images is so difficult

It takes up space on android phones and I don't know how to backup completely and then remove

To be fair, same for iphones, when I help my family/relatives, I can use Google photos to export then delete photos but don't know what to do for imessage
