Hi Laury, What you are describing about expanding the thread refers to email threads only, it has nothing to do with text messages. Don, here is what you do:
1. Double tap on a conversation, then swipe to the message you want to delete 2. Now swipe up with one fingerand Voiceover will say “More”. If not make sure your rotor is turned to “Actions”. 3. Double tap on “More” and the message is now announced as “Selected”. You can go to other messages and each time you double tap on a message in the conversation it is also selected. 4. When you are done check at the bottom above the home key, you will find “Delete” on the left and “Forward” on the right. 5. Double tap on delete, if you have selected 3 messages in the conversation I believe Voiceover will prompt you and say “Delete 3 Messages”, you have to confirm and they are gone.

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.
