Can't delete individual messages since the IOS8 upgrade.

Since the IOS8 upgrade, when trying to delete individual messages, the trash can no longer appears in the lower left corner. All that appears now is the camera and the area to write a message. I have reset all settings and rebooted multiple times. Initially after doing this the trash can will reappear. I delete some messages but then when I go back to delete more messages, the camera reappears. The only resolution I have found is to shut my phone down and restart it, but this is only a very temporary fix and is not ideal.

I have this issue also, it appears as though the Messages app is not detecting the context and switching to the right menu at the bottom. In addition, the other problems that show up when this happens are:
If you try to take a photo to send in a message, the camera app opens but the keyboard continues to cover the bottom of the screen (so you can't press the shutter button).
When you respond to an incoming message, the cursor doesn't automatically appear in the text box - you type characters, but they go nowhere. You have to actually tap once in the message box before typing.
When you tap send, even though the audio recording button isn't visible, as soon as your finger hits the screen the audio button pops up and a recording begins.
I would really like to go back to iOS 7. Even after 3 minor updates, iOS 8 is still very sloppy. Bad Apple!

  • After updating to IOS 8, I can not delete individual messages, and the trash can is gone

    After I updated on IOS 8, I can not delete individual messages, only delete all and the trash can is gone!!!  Anyone else having this problem?

    The option is still there - hold down on said text - more - then hit the trash icon.

  • Can not delete individual messages on ios8

    I can not delete individual messages in iMessage after I "upgraded" to ios8.  If you hold down on the message, tap "more", THERE IS NO TRASH CAN ANYWHERE ON THE SCREEN.  There is no option I have found anywhere, except to delete the entire conversation.  Please help.

    Thanks heaps.....the trying to enter a reply, then swiping downward on the keyboard worked.  That is the first useful suggestion I've seen for multiple posts with this question, so thank you very much.  Hopefully the next update will fix that problem so you don't have to go through the delete process the long way, but happy to use it as a temporary measure in the mean time.
    Thanks for taking the time to help.

  • Why can I delete individual messages, but can only clear (delete) ALL "recent" calls? It should be possible to delete individual calls!

    Because you can't. Plain and simple. This is asked at least once a day here.

  • Why can't i send email since the ios5 upgrade?

    why can't I send emails since ios 5 upgrade?

    There are several threads discussing this issue. I tried many suggested solutions without success until one finally worked and I'm sharing it in every thread.
    First, here is my hardware/software situation, if your's is diff, then the fix I found might not work.
    iPhone 4 upgraded to iOS 5.  IMAP email wouldn't SEND
    Fix:
    Go into setting>mail>your account>Outgoing mail Server SMTP>Primary Server then turn Server ON and fill in both User Name + Password under Outgoing Mail Server.
    It seems that in previous versions of iOS, you didn't need to enter your username and password in the outgoing mail server settings, but in iOS 5, IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE.
    Thanks to worapoj for being the first (i saw) to post this simple fix. 

  • How Can I delete multiple messages from the same address in Mac Mail

    Hope this is in the correct Community.  Hope someone can help me to delete multiple email messages from the same email address.
    At the moment I can do it by holding down the Command key and highlighting each email, but that can be difficult with many messages
    to delete.  Is there a quicker way?
    Thanks for any help on this.

    Thanks for the reply, appreciate your input.  I did find another way of doing it and that is to highlight the first e-mail, hold down the shift key and click on the last one.  That highlights them all and then they can all be deleted.  Your ideas also work of course and I thank you for that.  Cheers.

  • Can't delete tv shows since iPad 7 upgrade

    Since I upgraded to iPad 7 software I can no longer delete tv shows.  I have tried to edit them and only certain series appear with an x in the corner to be deleted.  The others do not.  Any suggestions welcome.
    On another note I think in general that the iPad 7 upgrade makes the icons look tacky and I wish I hadn't upgraded.
    I can't close theta applications and the battery life is therefore non-existent.
    Very disappointed.  Wish I could go back to original settings...

    Were you or somebody else streaming these TV shows at one point? When that happens to me, I have to download the show completely to my iPad, then delete it.
    If you were streaming the shows, or even if you weren't, download one of the shows and then try to delete it.

  • Is there a keystroke combination to delete individual messages in Apple Mail without opening them?

    Can I delete individual messages in the Apple Mail Inbox withhout opening them?

    I just right-click on them and delete. However, opening an email does not subject you to any adverse affects if you have remote html content disabled.

  • Can I delete individual Time Machine backups using Finder

    I recent fount necessary to do a complete install and restore.  As I was having trouble with system performance, I chose to restore Applications from Time Machine and set the system parameters manually.  In the process, I wound up with some very large (50 Gbytes) on my Desktop.  I neglected to turn off time Machine backup while doing the restoration and wound up with several big(!) files in the back ups taken during the restoration.  There is nothing useful on the backups taken during the restoration and they have really filled  up my backup disk.  Looking at the structure of the backup disk, it seems you could just delete the backups after I started to restore things.  Are there other considerations?  Are there hidden tables laying around that might become unsynchronized?

    Hi Kappy,
         Thanks for the lead.  I did not realize there were these capabilities other than restoration in Time Machine.  I looked in the help for Time Machine and found this
    "You can move, copy, or delete the Backups.backupdb folder on your Time Machine backup disk as you would other folders. You can also delete folders within the Backups.backupdb folder. You can’t delete individual items inside the dated folders."
         Seems like I can just delete, with the Finder, the backups taken after I started the restore.

  • Can not delete my emails. The same emails keep coming back instantly

    I can not delete email messages. The same messages keep coming back instantly.

    What seems to have worked for other users in the past.
    Delete, then reinstall the email account
    Then sync the iPad.
    No one knows why, but it often fixes the problem.

  • After upgrading the new operating system, it seems some useful features no longer work such as when typing a message the text anticipates the next word and when trying to delete individual messages from a contact, you can no longer tap and hold to select

    After upgrading the new operating system on my Droid Razr M it seems some useful features no longer work such as when typing a message the text anticipates the next word and when trying to delete individual messages from a contact, you can no longer tap and hold to select multiple message you have to delete them individually or the entire thread. Is there a way to get these back?

    Well, that's kind of embarrassing. And I honestly thought I paid attention to that... It works perfectly now, thank you so much!
    As expected, cdm-git also works fine since DMs only work in the root mode as of now.
    Just for the record, both type commands output "/usr/bin/startx" and pacman -Q gives "systemd 215-4".

  • Deleting individual messages in a conversation iOS8

    The trash bin option to delete individual messages in a conversation was available in iOS7. I don't see this any longer in iOS8. Was this useful feature removed?

    Hi pcdc,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I know it can be frustrating when you want to delete a message but cannot figure out how to do so in a new operating system. Please follow the steps in the attached article for information on how to complete this task.
    Send messages with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    How do I delete a message?
    To delete a message, tap and hold the message bubble, then tap More.
    Tap Delete All to delete all the messages. Or tap to select the messages you want to delete, then tap .
    After you delete a message, you can recover it only by restoring from a backup.
    Have a great day,
    Joe

  • Why can't I delete individual messages on either my iPad or my Mac when I can on mt iPhone?

    Why is it that I can delete individual messages on iPhone, but can only delete the entire messages to any one contact on my Mac & iPad?

    Hi,
    On the Mac version try Control Clicking the individual messages concerned.
    I am not sure why you iPad is reacting differently from your other iOS device.

  • How can I delete a name in the address of a text message?

    How can I delete a name in the address of a texas message?  The letter W appears as an addressee in error.  The text message was not sent.  The other addressess in the message was correct.

    if there are going to be a lot of dash characters you could read the string character by character, compare the value of the character with the range of values for a letter in ascii, and not copy it to a new string if it doesn't match. If the odd character out is only going to be a dash, you can search the string for the character, split the string at this point, append it to a string buffer and keep doing this till you're done. Just suggestions :)
