Before opening the message you need to swipe up until you hear expand thread and then double tap on it. Doing this will allow you to go into individual messages and you can delete them individually. If not you will delete the entire thread if you do not expand it first. I hope this helps.

I am certain that what I am about to describe is a lack of knowledge on my part rather than a problem either with IOS or with my phone. I have a couple of friends who sometimes send me three or four text messages in quick succession. When these messages come in, I can see via voice over that there are more than one, and I can determine specifically how many messages there are. The problem occurs when I go into messages and attempt to read each. After reading the first one, when I swipe down to delete that message, the entire group is deleted. I want to read one, delete it, and then read the next, etc. In some cases, I may wish to read and retain one or more and delete the rest. Just what am I missing? Thanks.
