Applying for ILR after 5 year Spouse Visa - questions about relationship being ‘genuine‘ and ‘subsisting‘

Hello

,
In order to apply for ILR after my 5 year route under Spouse Visa, to prove that my relationship with my partner is still ‘genuine‘ and ‘subsisting‘, do I still need to provide all my chat history and photos?
Or a cover letter as well as the statement letters from our direct families are sufficient?
Thanks in advance!

No, also not required or accepted by UKVI (i.e anyone can write anything in a letter).
You need 2 years evidence of documents proving cohabitation, in both names jointly or addressed individually, from 3 to 6 different sources, spread evenly for every 3 to 4 months.
