How do i delete all my text messages to speed up my phone

How do I delete all  my text messages at one time  on my s4?

That's a great way to clear up memory and speed things up, 357tony. What message app do you use with your S4? Is it Messaging, Message+, or one downloaded from the Play Store?

  • TS2755 how do i delete all past text messages

    when i go to the search i phone all messages i have sent or recieved are there i want these off my phone is there a way to delete these and also contacts from a deleted face book page dont want these there either

    this is stored in a cache memory in the phone and you can only get rid of it by restoring the phone as new and all your data/settings will be lost.  the memory is eventually overwritten so I suggest you just ignore it

  • How do I  delete a single text message from iPhone 6,I don't have a trash can.

    How do I delete a single text message from conversation on I phone 6 ?  I don't have a trash can & touching "edit" will only delete the all messages from that person.

    Thanks for your reply, deggie, but as I stated in the original question I do not have  a trash can.   However, I went to the Verizon store and after many attempts to locate a trash can the sales rep turned off the phone with both buttons held down.  When the apple came back the trash can came back. He had never seen that problem before so we both learned something !

  • My Droid Maxx deleted all my text messages by itself. I had all of them, got a phone call, and when I got off the call, all my texts where gone. Is there a way I can get them all back?

    My Droid Maxx deleted all my text messages by itself. I had all of them, got a phone call, and when I got off the call, all my texts where gone. Is there a way I can get them all back? I had a lot and some where really important to me. I turned the phone off and on again thinking that would bring them back because of some glitch but it didn't help. Does anyone know of a way to bring them all back?

    It's very possible to get your messages back. Verizon Messages (app) from the Play Store has options both to restore and back up your messages. They can be downloaded as a file and saved on the device or SD card. By pulling the menu out from the left side and choosing "Restore Conversations", you can (hopefully) restore your lost messages but it says for 90 days. I hope this doesn't reach you too late.

  • My husband and I have our iphones  and icloud set up. He is getting all my text messages coming through to his phone, how can i get this changed so it does not happen? does it have anything to do with icloud?

    My husband and i have our iphones set up. He is getting all my text messages that are coming through to my phone, how can i elminate this problem? Does it have anything to do with out icloud?

    Well, you use the different accounts such Phone Numbers, email addresses. And make sure that your iPhones have no receipient address in common, then you can avoid this issue.
    I use iMessage on my iPhone, iPad, MacBook Pro, iPod touch.
    Each of them has a individual address to receive messages, so they won't combine all the messages among all the devices.
    Try this, if it doesn't work, tell me, I'll figure another way out.

  • How do I delete a large text message I sent that glitches the message app?

    I just recently sent a REALLY large text message to my friend, but I don't think she actually got it. Since I sent this really big text I can't open the app for messages. Well, I can but it is frozen in the convo I sent the text in and after about 3 seconds the app closes back to the home screen. In the few seconds that I can keep the app open I tried to press the back button (on the upper left hand corner), to delete the convo so that is gets rid of the message. But, like I said before, it is frozen so it won't go anywhere. Also, while the app is open for a few seconds I tried holding the large text to delete it, but again the app is frozen so will do absolutely nothing. I really don't know how to to delete the convo or message to get the app working again. Please tell me if there is any other way to get the app working again. I have thought of resetting me phone, but that would be my last resort. I have a ton of valuable information I have to keep. Thank you!

    Reset the Device using this method:  Hold the home button + the lock button for about 10-12 seconds until the Apple logo appears.  You will not lose any data or current settings.

  • How do i delete all my I-messages at the same time (select all, delete) ?

    I need to clean my inbox on the imessage app on a apple mac.
    But i do not want to select one a time and delete
    How do i delete all ?

    Hi,
    There not an iMessages app on the Mac.
    The App is called Messages.
    It can use the iMessages system if you add an Apple ID in the Account settings.
    Conversations (from Contacts in the iMessages account) and Chats (From Buddies from all other account types) can be displayed in the Main Messages window that also acts as an interface for some of the apps functions.
    This main window can display multiple chats/conversations at once.
    Mousing over the Side Bar will reveal an x  for each one.  This can be used to remove that Chat or Conversation from view.
    iMessages as a whole are stored in ~/Library/Messages across three .db items
    Deleting these will remove the contents of the Chat/Conversation side of the main window  on restarting it.
    I have only removed the chat.db item myself  and this does not  remove the Side Bar info. (it means you see empty conversations).
    There is also a setting for Save on Close in Messages Menu > Preferences >General Section that stores all Chats/Conversations when the app is Quit or ended  in some form such as leaving the app open but Shutting down the computer or if you dismiss a chat as listed above.
    These are stored in ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.iChat/Data/Library/Messages/Archive and then in dated folders.
    The Archive of Stored Chats and the .db items are used in the "History" when you reconnect to someone and the previous "chat" shows up.
    This should be enough info for you to delete the bites you want to.

  • My iPhone 4S deleted all my text messages  and it said u can retrieve them back if u do backup resort and I did and it completely wiped out all my messages and I just want my text messages and photos back

    Someone please help me get back my text messages from my boyfriend that have a lot meaning and my heart is shattered cuz I lost all those text messages.. Please help me get back my messages from him!!

    You should really read the manual.
    "How do you restore from backup? "
    Restore.  When given the choice, choose to use backup.
    "And how can I check to see if the pics and videos are on my computer somewhere first??"
    They would only be where you put them.  What program did you use to import them?  Pics/vids taken with ipod are not part of the sync process at all.  You should be importing them just as you would with any digital camera.
    If you did not import them, then they are not on your computer.

  • My iPhone randomly deleted all my text messages.

    Has anyone else ever had all their text messages randomly deleted?

Its really frustrating and annoying..when i get a new message, it even separates into a different contact column..Lets say after i message my gf,when i get a reply i have two sections of my gf msg,one the one i sent and one the one she sent at the messages main menu. When i try to open the one i receive, the sms program shuts down itself back to iphone homepage menu!! When i reopen the sms program, all the messages is lost!! As if it has reboot itself!What more its happening very frequently...Almost every message i sent and receive!!

  • Iphone 4 deleted all my text messages.

    My Iphone randomly deleted all my texts. When I plugged it into Itunes they didn't come back like I thought they would. Any ideas?

    If you backed up the phone BEFORE the messages disappeared, they can be restored by restoring the backup:
    1. Disable automatic syncing on connection in iTunes prefs > Devices > Disable....
    2. Connect phone.
    3. Right-click the device tab on left border of iTunes window and select "Restore from backup."

  • How do I delete a default text message (template) that I appear to have accidentally created?

    Every time I want to send a text message and I start from scratch or I forward a text from my inbox an old message appears as a sort of template that I have to delete before I type my new message. I don't know how I created this "template" but its very annoying as it is a long message that I need to delete every time.. I would be grateful if anyone can tell me how to clear it..

    Reset the Device using this method:  Hold the home button + the lock button for about 10-12 seconds until the Apple logo appears.  You will not lose any data or current settings.

  • How do I delete a LARGE text message conversation?

    My message app is taking up nearly 6GB, so I exported all of my messages to an excel file and backed it up to my computer.  However, now I can't delete the one conversation that is so large.  When I swipe to delete it, it keeps my app busy, making it impossible to send/receive texts while it attempts to delete it.  Then, when I disable to app and reboot the device, the conversation is restored.  I know that it takes the phone time to delete such a large file, so accounting for this, I even swiped to delete it just before I went to bed one night and let it work all night -- the conversation was still restored after I rebooted the phone the next morning.  Do I just need to wait even longer?  Is there anyway to get into the software and actually delete the file manually rather than having to wait for the phone to effectively delete it?

    That doesn't address my problem at all, really.  The conversation contains over 80,000 messages and I want to delete all of them to free up the 6GB it's taking up on my phone.  It is so large that the phone can't effectively delete it, so I'm trying to figure out another way to delete it other than the ineffective swiping method (and I think it'd take me years to go through and delete 80k messages, 50 messages at a time).  Thanks for trying, though.

  • My iPhone 4 deleted all my text messages without a warning, is this normal?

    Is it normal for the phone to delete all text messages without warning? I tried to send a text, the screen went black with the apple logo and when the phone started back up, all texts were gone :(

    I'm not looking for a smart *** reply, thank you for wasting my time and yours as well.
