Cant select and delete text messages

Since the latest ios7 update i can no longer select and delete text messages. I have to delete the entire conversation. Anyone else having this problem? Is there a fix?

Tap and hold on a text within a conversation. Tap "More" in the pop up menu. Select the messages you want to delete by tapping in the little circles at the left of the messages. Tap the trash can in the lower left of the screen.
Best of luck.

Review and delete text messages on line

I would like to go on line to review and delete old text messages. Is there a way to do it? Doing it on the cell phone is slow and (for me) clumsy. Thanks

There is no way to access your phone's memory online, other than the limited case of using Backup Assistant to modify your contacts via the web interface. It may be possible to connect your phone to your computer with special software and delete the texts that way, but I've never heard of anyone doing this.
Just go through your phone and delete them.

TS3899 How do I select and delete multiple messages from mail?

How can I select mutiple messages in my inbox and send them all to the trash without selecting each message and trashing it? Using the "Mark All" command does not give me that option--only the "Flag" and "Mark as Read" options.

I know there is no delete all option within Mail app but this workaround does the trick
1. Go to your inbox
2. Press Edit
3. Tap any message once to select it
4. Press AND HOLD the Move button
5. While still holding the Move button, tap the message you selected
6. Release the Move button
7. This will bring up a dialog box asking you which folder you’d like to move all your messages to – just select the Trash folder and you’re all done

I used to have a IPhone3 about three years ago, unfortunately i do not have it anymore. My question is is there a way to obtain deleted text messages from my phone number from a short period of time before i got rid of my phone?

About three years ago in 1012 I had an iphone3 sent and deleted text messages of course and as of now those text messages are needed for an upcoming court case i will be involved with. So is there any way to retrieve those text messages from three years ago. I am just in need of the text messages from February 2012 on. So its about 6 to 10 months of texts. what do I have to do to get them back if possible???

As the others noted, if you don't have any older iTunes backups then the deleted messages would not be recoverable. The free trial of Decipher TextMessage will show you if there are any text messages in your older backups that can be recovered.

These are iMessages only.
He activated iMessage on his iPhone with the same Apple ID that you activated iMessage with on your Mac.
On your Mac, go to Messages preferences.
Under the Settings selection for your Apple ID, deselect your brother's phone number for you can be reached for messages at.

Cant delete text messages from my iphone 4s

i have not been able to delete text message since the new update ios 8.3.
i go to the message screen select person i want to delete. and press the red delete button. but when i turn my phone
off and turn in it back on. the message appears again.

Hi maryamss, the iPhone never really deletes things it just hides it from the system sounds like something has gone askew. Have you tried a hard restart? Hold the Home and Power buttons down together, keep them held until the phone shuts of and you then see the apple symbol may take up to 20 seconds. It is then safe to release the buttons. Failing this restoring your phone with iTunes should sort it out.

If I delete someone from my contacts and a text message is that message also deleted from contact?

If I delete someone from my contacts and a text message between us is that message also deleted from person(contact) I deleted?

I think you are asking if you delete a message on your device, does that delete it on the other person's device? Is that what you are asking?
The answer to that would be No.

How do i stop my iphne 5s from deleting text messages and closing out of apps when i open them?

My phone keeps deleting text messages before I can even read them or they don't come through at all. My phone also closes out of apps as soon as I click on them. does anyone know what I can do to fix these problems?

I have tried that and it doesn't work for me. I can set everything up, but then it won't get mail. At all.. Says server isn't responding. My issue with imap is that it won't create copies like POP does. It downloads directly from the server. So whoever is reading my email (my husband) on his phone, if he deletes it, then it's deleted from my phone, or email client as well. It's a sticky business. Any suggestions?
IMAP is not good for a shared email account for this very reason (but is great for a single reader who uses many devices for access). The best suggestion I have is to create separate email accounts, if possible. Otherwise, you'll both really have to be conscientious about not deleting emails.

I deleted text messages over the last six months, and I want to get them back. I didn't have my I-Phone 4S backed up. Can I still retrieve those texts?? I read somewhere that texts are never really deleted for good.

I have a I-Phone 4S and I deleted text messages over the last 6 months. I didn't have my phone backed up with I-Tunes or anything. Is there a way to retrieve all of those deleted text messages?? I read somewhere a while back, that texts are never really deleted permanently. Can't find information on that. Can anyone help please?

Where would you expect to retrieve those deleted message if you didn't backup your phone?

URGENT-Does Erase all Data and restoring from a previously made backup permanently delete text messages after that backup??

Does restoring from a previously made backup permanently delete text messages after that backup?
I made a Icloud back up two days ago. I have text messaged and sent emails since. I haven't backed up again yet and I was wondering that if I erase my phone and back up to that Icloud Back up made two days ago, the texts and emails I have sent SINCE then will be permanently deleted? AKA they can never be found again by anyone?

That is correct you can only get back data that was backed up.

How can I delete text messages from my iphone?

Hello everyone,
How can I delete text messages from my iphone? I do not want to reset my iphone setting. If it is nesscary to reset my iphone setting, will I lose everything?
Please let me know,
Thanks,

Just delete them. Or, do you mean beyond just deleting them? Then, you'd need to wipe the phone - select Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. That's a secure wipe of the iPhone contents, takes several hours (connect to AC power). You'll need to set your phone up from scratch (and erase the old backup(s) from your computer, since your SMS history is part of the backup).

How can i get back a deleted text message

how can i get back a very important text message i deleted by mistake.my phone is iphone 3g
thank you

I'm going to post what I found via Google. As I understand, it works for some, not for others, so I'm not vouching for this, so do it at your own risk:
FACT: SMS messages remain on the iPhone after deletion. When “deleted” on the iPhone, they are technically hidden and marked for deletion. Text messages are then deleted only after sync with iTunes.
In order to recover a deleted text message or messages, run through the following 4 easy steps:
STEP 1:
Make sure iTunes doesn’t automatically sync with iPhone when connected.
STEP 2:
Connect your iPhone to iTunes and Back up by selecting Preferences > Backup from iTunes, or right-click on your iPhone and choose back up.
STEP 3:
Restore your iPhone by selecting Restore under Preferences. Note that restoring the iPhone will restore the previous iPhone firmware. Your iPhone will be completely erased after the new firmware is installed. So make sure your back up is good!
STEP 4:
The final step will be to restore your iPhone from the back up you created on step 2. This will allow you to restore any data you have backed up, including the “deleted” text messages.
That’s it!
It’s important to distinguish between iPhone data restore and iPhone firmware restore.
iPhone data restore allows you to restore data you have already backup on iTunes. This is your photos, video, text messages…etc.
iPhone firmware restore is pretty much like a restore to factory switch. This will restore your iPhone to the previous firmware or system and no user data. This option is often recommended if your suspect that your iPhone OS or iOS is unstable.
