How to lock a specific text message so it wont be deleted

I would like to lock a specific someoen sent me but if i delete the rest of the the thread i wont that line will still be there. I used to do it on androind phone wasnt sure if iphone could do that as well.

That is not a feature of the iPhone. Submit your feedback requesting such a feature directly to Apple using the appropriate link on the Feedback page:
http://www.apple.com/feedback
Meanwhile, you could always copy the message you want to save (tap and hold the message, select Copy) and save it to Notes or somewhere else.
Best of luck.

  • HI, I recently upgraded my operating system IOS 5.0.1 on an iphone 3gs. MY question is, how do I get the text messaging preview to just pop up so that I can see the name only when the lock screen is on? The conventional ways of doing this aren't working

    HI, I recently upgraded my operating system IOS 5.0.1 on an iphone 3gs. My question is, how do I get the text messaging preview to just pop up so that I can see the name only when the lock screen is on? The conventional ways of doing this, such as using turning off the SMS preview under the "passcode lock", well that option no longer exists, or if it does, I'm somehow missing it.
    When I go to the "messages" setting under settings on my phone, I still don't see an option of turning it off.
    If I can just get the name of the person sending the message, as I had it before, I'd be happy.
    Help!

    That option still exists in Settings > Notifications > Messages > Show Prview (OFF) and View in Lock Screen (ON). Here's how to configure your Notifications and Notification Center for iOS 5: http://iphone-and-i.blogspot.com/2012/01/how-to-customize-notification-center-in .html

  • Looking for an app that will alarm on specific text messages.

    Looking for an app that will alarm on specific text messages. The idea is to use the message as a pager without a monthly subscription. There is a similar app for andriod called firealert.

    I could not find any app that would do this. There are different types of message apps but nothing that I could find to do what I am looking for. For a specific contact I would like the message to have a notification that will not go away until I acknowledge it. Just like you would do if it was a pager.

  • How do I stop getting text messages on my macbook air

    How do I stop getting text messages on my MacBook Air?

    Hi,
    The Mac has an App that is called Messages and one of the accounts in it is the iMessages one that can sync with the iOS one.
    Open the Messages app and go to the Preferences (In the drop down Menu in the Apps name in the Menu Bar)
    In the Preferences select the Accounts tab.
    Select the iMessages account  if it is not selected.
    Untick the iPhone Number to stop iMessages sent to your iPhone Number appearing on your Mac.
    Also go to the General section of the Preferences.
    There is an items that reads "When I quit, set the Status to Off Line"  select this.
    This will stop any incoming Messages (from any source that Messages can join) from launching to app when you have not started it but your Computer is On.
    You may also want to go to your iPhone Settings and remove the Apple ID.

  • Palm Pre - How do I forward a text message?

    I need to see if anyone kow how to forward a sms/ text message that I received from one individual to another individual.
    Cannot find anything in the help menu and don't see an ioption for forwarding message.  When I do a search it only brings up instructions on how to forward an e-mail.
    Thank you

    Fantastic phone, so I'm assuming that Palm is working on a usable text messaging applcation to replace the limited version on the Pre.
    No forwarding
    No copy/paste
    Replies to the server address instead of the email address when the text is sent from [email protected]
    Goes out of messaging and into email to send to email addresses
    No way to change the alert to something that can be heard
    No f/u alerts to remind if a message hasn't been seen
    No way to see messages in a chronologic list instead of chat
    All the above sort of short circuits the usefulness of the keyboard
    Since this phone should be a messaging masterpiece given the hardware, it's suprising how poorly the application was written and hopefully fixing this will be a priority
    The current messaging application is made for fun but some of us use messaging for work
    In other words, why not copy the Treo application.....

  • Does anyone know how to lock a specific application, such as e-mail in Ipad?

    I have my company email in my Ipad and I want to lock it in order to prevent whoever uses my Ipad to login to my email. Does anyone know how to lock a specific application or it cannot be locked?

    There is a somewhat clunky way to do it. First, go into your mail (Settings - Mail/Contacts/Calendars) and turn off (dont' disable) any accounts you don't want to be seen. Then go into Restrictions - Accounts and select "Don't Allow Changes." This will prevent anyone from turning the mail back on. When you're ready to turn it back on, go into Restrictions and either Disable Restrictions or go into Accounts and select Allow Changes.
