How can I get rec'd text messages from the same subscriber not be appended

Hi,
Is there a way to configure the Apple iphone so that text messages from the same subscriber are displayed separately rather than appended to each other? In this way accidentally deleting one message wouldn't delete the entire history of messages from this subscriber.
When I launch the SMS service by pressing the green SMS button I am met by a screen that says Text Messages. On the left of this there is a button that says Edit and on the right there is one that is for writing a new message. Down the page are my messages all grouped by the originator of each messages. If I choose one I see that all messages from this source are present appended one after the other. There is also the option now to Clear on the top right hand corner. It is this Clear option I am worried about. If I choose Clear I am asked for a confirmation and then lo and behold as expected all my messages from this subscriber are deleted.
This is a work phone for support purposes and most of the texts will be from the telephone operator (i.e. the one same number) saying we have an email waiting to be read with a subject title giving a little description. I want to be in a position so that I don't accidentally delete the entire history of messages, say some evening when I'm tired or Monday morning if I 'm a bit asleep. Ideally I would prefer that each text message would stand alone in the Text Messages window irrespective of the originator and not be appended in a group fashion. Is there a way to do this?
Kind regards,
M

There is no way to do that on the iPhone. Messages will always be grouped into a 'conversation' based on the sender/recipient. Only Apple can change that behavior.

  • My iPhone 5S drowned in a rainstorm. How can I retrieve contacts and text messages from iCloud backup onto my iPad mini?

    My iPhone 5S drowned in a rainstorm. How can I retrieve contacts and text messages from iCloud backup onto my iPad mini? There are some contacts on the iPad already but nowhere near all of them. I need to re-enter the contacts manually into an iPhone 4 as it does not support iOS 8.

    Let me get this straight.....You lost your phone.  You never backed it up, either to your computer or to a cloud service.
    How in the world would you expect to get data back?

    How can I stop my incoming text messages from going to my daughter's iphone?  I have the 4s she has the 4.  When she got the latest update, everything on our phones synced.  She got her own apple id, but she is still getting all of my text messages.

    This is with iMessages only, and because she has the same email address available and selected under You can be reached at at Settings > Messages > Send & Receive.

    How can I retrieve my deleted text messages from my iPhone 5s?  I don't sync to a computer, only to iCloud.  My last backup was 2/19/14.

    Unless you had them backed up somewhere, I'm afraid they are gone.

  • How can I get rid of multiple pictures at the same time?

    how can I get rid of multiple pictures at the same time?

    Adobe Bridge, lightroom and your file browser (windows explorer or Mac Finder) can select multiple pictures at once and then delete. If you are looking for more than that for information, you will need to be more specific at what your doing, what OS you have, and version of software your using. If necessary post screen shots so we can see what your doing. The more information we have the more detailed of an explaination can can give back to you.

    I use my iPad to get the address book backed up by iCloud from my iPhone. However, I cannot see the recent new contacts from my iPad. Is there anyway to check the iCloud server to see if my address book backup from my iPhone is still there?

  • How can I get my Aperture library back from the Photos application?

    As stated above, How can I get my Aperture library back from the Photos application?  I'm not a fan of Photos right now and haven't used iPhoto in years, so that wasn't a loss... I didn't realize when I gave Photo's access to my Aperture library, I was going to lose it...
    I want to get it back, any suggestions?
    Thanks again!

    what means ..."Once you open the Aperture library back into Aperture..."? What do I need to "klick" in order to getting back my old Aperture Project structure....

  • How can I get "IMAQ Line Fit" stable (with the same points)

    How can I get "IMAQ Line Fit" stable (with the same points)
    I my vision applications I use a lot off times "IMAQ Line Fit"
    some times the results are not Stable.
    See vi and word document attached.
    When I take the same points but in a other order (sort)
    then suddenly all points are used.
    In this case I was looking for a edge in vertical direction (Y).
    I found the points but "IMAQ Line Fit" did not function well.
    I tried changing all settings like pixel radius and minimum score and
    also threshold and so on. But no result.
    Then I sorted the points reversed and that worked. See vi.
    I use labview Labview 8.6.0 and IMAQ machine vision.
    Maybe this problem is solved in a newer version.
    Please let me know.
    Thanks

    Thank You for your reaction Hossein,
    This "one application" uses "Line fit" about 20 000 000 times a day.
    about 200 will go wrong. With your setting the the "Line fit" for this occasion will work but others will go wrong.
    A algorithm should be:
    1e Stable, when using the same points and settings the result MUST be the same. How the points are sorted should not matter.
    2e Accuracy
    3e Speed
    4e Testing. Is very difficult but al least close points and the same points and sorting ... should be done
    NI now as made a " IMAQ Line Fit" Problem CAR (Corrective Action request) 298016.
    so in the future there will be a update.
    In the mean while a made a line fit which uses Bisquare option from Linear Fit.vi :
      from C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 8.6\vi.lib\analysis\6fits.llb
    This is a temporary fix because "IMAQ Fit Line VI" is not so stable.
    Because outliers should be rejected only Bisquare does this reasonable.
    This program does NOT USE "Minimum Score" and "Pixel Radius"
    Valid fit = When there are enough points within Outlier_Distance.
    Algorithm steps:
    - Determine if line is more horizontal then vertical, Compare DeltaX with DeltaY
    - If DeltaX <= DeltaY then SWAP X Y and later Swap back
    - Sort Points at on X value
    - First : Bisquare Linear Fit
    - Calculate distances to the found line for all points
    - Inliers: Points within Outlier_distance
    - Outliers: Points outside Outlier_Distance
    - Only use Inlier Points
    - Check again if DeltaX < DeltaY then SWAP X Y later SWAP back again
    - Second : Bisquare Linear Fit only with the Inlier Points
    - Results are from the second fit
    Warning : This Program is Not so accurate and Not so fast
    See attachments it is in labview 8.6
    If some has a improvement please let me know.
    Thanks

  • How can i find my deleted text messages on the iphone4

    My ex boyfriend figured out a way to get all my deleted messages from the last month and i want to know how i can block him from doing this again?

    Also, if the messages used Apple's iMessage, then any other device logged in using the same Apple ID and password would still have those messages regardless of whether you deleted them on your iPhone.

  • How do I get my old text messages from my iPhone to my new Galaxy?

    Recently, I just upgraded from an iPhone 4 to a Samsung Galaxy 4.  I upgraded my account from Sprint and got my new phone at Best Buy.  I'm trying to get into my iTunes because I know I recently synched my iPhone on my iTunes a little over a week ago.  What I'm trying to do is get into my iTunes because I know my iCloud is backed up on iTunes.  I got all of my contacts and pictures already transferred from my iPhone to my Galaxy.  Now, that last thing I'm really worried about is my old text messages. There is this old text message that I'm needing to save, but I can't seem to figure out how to get my old text messages to my new phone.
    Is there some way I can get those back or what I need to go to Geek Squad to help me with this?

    Apple has not designed the iPhone for loading up old messages across phone platforms.
    Screenshot the important stuff on the Android or use a tool to archive the old SMS on your computer.

  • How can I read non-deleted text messages from months ago without having to continuously press "Load Earlier Messages"?

    I never deleted text messages from a specific person in case I ever wanted to go back and look at them. Now months have gone by and I don't feel like continuously pressing "Load Earlier Messages" for hours trying to get back and look at them. Is there anyway I can upload the whole conversation on to my computer and read the entire conversation from the beginning?

    Yes.
    I use iBackupBot.

  • HT201272 How can I get my old ringtones back from the iTunes Store?

    How can I get my ringtones back?

    Ringtones are a one-time only download from the store. Do you have copies of them in the Tones part of your computer's iTunes library and/or on your backup of your downloads ? If not, and if they are still in your country's store, then you could try contacting iTunes Support and see if they will grant you a redownload : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

  • How can I set an event that occurs on the same day, not date, every month? Like Thanksgiving is on the third Thursday of November

    On my PowerBook, I was able to set up events to show up on a specific day repeating each month, say the first Thursday.  How can I get that on the iPad 2?

    For your repeating even, I'm assuming this is your Yahoo calendar? that isn't a Firefox issue, I suggest you try to contact yahoo.
    For the other issue, try the following:
    Update to Firefox 15. Then, [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]]

  • How can I get my old text messages back?

    Wanted to get old text messages back or at least see them! ... But how?

    The only way to recover deleted SMS/iMessages is to restore the device to a backup created after the message was sent but before it was deleted.
