Load earlier messages

I noticed that in texting some of my contacts have a added bar that says "load earlier messages" and others don't. How do I get that option on all?

Do you have over 50 messages from all of your contacts?
The iPhone displays the 50 most recent messages in the conversation. To see earlier messages, scroll to the top and tap Load Earlier Messages. http://www.apple.com/iphone/how-to/#messages.sending-and-receiving-messages

  • 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.

    Hello mammac,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    To start off, I have included the document 'Improving System Performance without Adding Memory (Windows 8)'. This should help with improving the speed of your computer, with making sure all updates are done, and unnecessary start up programs disabled.
    I have also included the document 'Windows 8 Stops Responding or Becomes Very Slow After Connecting to the Internet'. To hopefully help with the speed of the internet, when playing your online games.
    To try, and reinstall the 'accelerator', I have included the document 'Using Recovery Manager to Restore Software and Drivers (Windows 8)'. Please follow through the steps for reinstalling software.
    To be able to provide more specific troubleshooting steps, could you please provide me with the full model number of your HP 2000 notebook. If you need it, I have included the document 'Guide to finding your product number'.
    Thank you.

    on Normal sms there is a load earlier messages button when you scroll up to let you see previous messages
    on imessage there isnt that option, is there a way where i can see all previous imessages sent and received?

  • TS2755 Why cant i load earlier messages when im looking at text messages with a certain contact?

    whenever i try to load earlier messages with one of my contacts it only shows a couple more of the previews texts we sent using both imessage and normal texting. Then i tried deleting a couple of our texts and tapped on load earlier messages it would show a few more. But it only does this with one contact and theres plenty of space left too so thats not the problem, how do i fix this??
    Please Help Me!!

    I disagree, the old way was worse. If you were searching for a particular text or photo and didn't know exactly when it was sent, each time more messages loaded below the button you would have to scroll down through that new batch to see if the text was there. And if it wasn't, you'd have to scroll all the way back up through the same messages to get to the button again. Plus, each time you loaded more messages and scrolled through them, you'd have to remember where the previous batch ended so you wouldn't keep searching through the same messages over and over.
    The new way is much more logical. Load more equals "load more from this point". However, I agree that more control over how many messages are loaded, or ways to narrow your search, would be better.
    Besides, there is a super simple solution to your complaint. Tap on the time at the top of the screen to automatically scroll back to the top of the list (and the buttons). If you're really in a hurry, use one finger to hit the button and another to hit the time.
    There does seem to be an actual problem though. After I click the button a few times, it starts scrolling back to the very bottom of the list instead of staying at the same point. That's not the new way (stay at this message) or the old way (scroll to the top) and is obviously useless.

After input the keyword or the whole content of the message which saved in "Load Earlier Messages", the only result is "No Results". But the message is actually exist, if I push "Load Earlier Messages" button, it comes out. How can I solve it?

  • Can I search messages quickly without having to "load  earlier messages"?

    Please help!
    Im trying to find certain messages from a contact on my phone, I need to go back over a year and its taking so long having to scroll and load earlier messages.
    Is there a faster way to do this?

    No, as the phone will only search a specific time period. There is no setting for that. The easier way would be to not have as much on the device, or to use a 3rd party program to remove the conversations from the phone and search via the computer. SMS messages on the phone are in a volatile memory situation. Should anything happen to the device you could lose them in an instant, especially if you do not backup/sync the phone on a regular basis.

  • Load earlier messages option disappeared.

    I need to access a series of old texts, a conversation with time stamps which was available a few weeks ago but no longer is.
    Has anyone experienced that?

    The option is there only if there are more text messages. It says "Load Earlier Messages".
    Did you restore your phone recently, maybe losing the previous messages?
