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.

  • 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.

    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".

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • Is there a keystroke combination to delete individual messages in Apple Mail without 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.

  • 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?

  • Why am i getting an error message that says "an unknown error has occured" when i try to update my apps in the app store

    Can someone please offer some suggestions why I am getting an error message that says "an unknown error has occured" when I try to download or update my apps in the app store?
    Thanks!
    disregard! i noticed someone else's post about signing out of the app store and signing in again and it worked.....

    Hi ...
    Try here > Mac App Store: "An unknown error occurred (100)" when purchasing
    If that doesn't help, drag the App Store icon straight up off your Dock so it goes, "poof".
    Now drag the App Store icon from your Applications folder to the Dock. Try updating your apps.

    Hello GoldenStarZ,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    From your post I see that you're unable to send picture messages to non-iOS devices.  These messages are called MMS, and in order to troubleshoot the issue please follow the steps in the article below.

  • HT204053 Why can't Find iPhone locate all my devices ?

    Why can't Find iPhone locate all my devices ?
    It finds my iPhone, iPod, and only one of 2 iPads.
    Sometimes, only finds iPhone and iPod only.
    I don't use iCloud...had very bad experiences with it !!!
    Lost all my Contacts and had duplicates and triplicates of entries in my Calender.
    Took a long time to get back to "normal"
    Stays far away from iCloud now !

    Find My iPhone relies on iCloud.  (It used to use MobileMe and may still do that, but that service is going away at the end of June, so you need your iCloud account for Find My iPhone.)

  • My messages are linked somehow between my phone and iPad. I need to make space on my iPad so I want to delete the messages off my iPad only. If I delete my messages off of my iPad, will they also be deleted off of my iPhone?
