Why we can't delete multiple message in iphone

Hi,
I have iphone 4S, IOS 5.1.1 . I am wondering for long time why in iphone i can't delete multiple message in a single. This looks to be a very basic requiremnt for most of us i guess. Any idea why it is not supported ? and any guess if it will be available in IOS 6 ?
thanks....
regards,
rubesh

I dont think there is a specific reason for this. If you feel this would be a good new feature, then let apple know. They have a page for feature requests: www.apple.com/feedback

  • How Can I delete multiple messages from the same address in Mac Mail

    Hope this is in the correct Community.  Hope someone can help me to delete multiple email messages from the same email address.
    At the moment I can do it by holding down the Command key and highlighting each email, but that can be difficult with many messages
    to delete.  Is there a quicker way?
    Thanks for any help on this.

    Thanks for the reply, appreciate your input.  I did find another way of doing it and that is to highlight the first e-mail, hold down the shift key and click on the last one.  That highlights them all and then they can all be deleted.  Your ideas also work of course and I thank you for that.  Cheers.

  • In yahoo mail, can I delete multiple messages at once?

    For example, I'd like to try to clean up my mailbox.  On an MS OS, I can do a search on "sears", everything with that word is displayed.  I can then delete them all at once, usually with just one click.  Is there something similar on a MacBook Air?  Thanks!

  • How can I delete multiple email messages on my mobile device

    HOw can I delete multiple email messages from my ipad and iPhone

    Hello conniefromtulsa,
    The process for deleting multiple messages is detailed in the iPhone User Guide:
    Delete, move, or mark multiple messages. While viewing a list of messages, tap Edit. Select some messages, then choose an action. If you make a mistake, shake iPhone immediately to undo.

  • 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.

  • Deleting multiple messages

    I have a Macbook Pro, I now have Mountain Lion. Previously with Snow Leopard to delete from mail a group of messages from one source, you just scrolled down all the messages - it to a couple of seconds - and then press delete - easy! Why now do you have to click on every message - it is cumbersome and takes time and I am therefore not erasing my emails - and keep getting messages that my inbox is full!
    Please can someone give me a simple explanation of how I can multi delete - and if not can someone from Apple explain why they took this simple but useful task away when they created Mountain Lion. In fact I find the whole Mountain Lion mail display system over complicated and having used it now for several months I still hate it and still dont understand it. It may be great for people who are computer savy but for the likes of me it is awful.
    Thanks!

    Many thanks for your swift reply, however clicking on every message is what I want to avoid it is far too time consuming. Is there not a way that I can scroll down (as with Leopard) highlighting all the messages (sometimes there are up to 20) rather than clicking each one individually. If there is not why did Apple choose to remove this? It was obviously used a lot, as many people are now asking how they can delete multiple messages.

  • How can I delete multiple emails on my Samsung Stratosphere at once?

    How can I delete multiple emails on my Samsung Stratosphere at once? I use AOL and when I delete the emails off of my computer, they do not delete from my phone. So I have hundreds of unwanted messages showing on my phone but I have not found an option to delete all messages, only individually. I would also like to be able to clear the messages from my phone without them deleting from my computer. This was super easy with my blackberry and I have not found anything similar on this phone.

    When I go to the trash folder on my Stratosphere, I can check individual emails and then hit "Menu" and "Delete", but if I hit the "Menu" button before selecting any e-mails, then I see the "Delete all" button, but it's greyed out, so I cannot select it.  There's also a "Restore All" button next to the "Delete all" button, and it's also greyed out.  So, currently the only way I can delete the 100's of e-mails in my trash is to put a check mark next to each one, which is painful.  Anybody else have this problem or know of a solution?

  • 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.

    Shift-click the photos or Ctrl-click them to select them, then right-click one of them and choose Delete from Catalog. They will all go together.

  • TS3899 How can i delete multiple e-mails from my iphone 4S. There are indicated more than 1500 e., but when i open the file there is indicated: no e-mail.

    How can i delete multiple e.mails from my iPhone 4 S. ? It shows the presence of more than 1500 e-mails. But when I try to open the account it shows that there a no e-mails. So i cannot delete them.

    I would disconnect the email on your phone...

  • Why I can't delete an item in iCal on iPad 2?

    Why I can't delete an item in iCal on iPad 2? The user manual says: click on the item, choose 'Edit' or something like that and then 'Delete'.
    But clicking on the item only shows the details and not any window for Editing the item.
    I wanted to delete an item in a calendar that is synchronized via Google.
    Thanks for help!

    If you are In the "Day"view in the calendar app, tap on the event  and a window opens up with a red "Delete Event" button at the bottom of the window. Tap that button and then another "Delete Event" button pops up. Tap that to delete.
    In the week view, tap the event and then a window pops up with "Edit" in it - it is in the upper right corner of that window - tap edit, and then repeat the process described above.
    I do not use the Google calendar and maybe the way you have that set up will not allow you to do this directly on the Calendar app on the iPad.
