I assume you are talking about text messages in the Messages app? If so, then yes, you can do this: 1. Open the conversation by double tapping on the name 2. Go to the first message you want to delete and flick either up or down until you get to "More", if this doesn't seem to work make sure you turn the rotor so it's on "Actions" 3. Once you get to "More", double tap and this will select the message you are on. 4. You can now flick right through all the messages and each one you want to delete you double tap to selec, if you get to the one you want to keep, just flick again to skip it. 5. When you selected all the messages check at the bottom of the screen and you should see "Delete" and "Forward". 6. Double tap on Delete and you get the following confirmation prompt: These messages will be deleted from all your devices. Delete 5 messages, button
Comment: 1. Of course the number depends on how many you selected, I just tried this to make sure it still works the same way and I happened to select 5 messages from one of my conversations. If you select 3 then it would say "Delete 3 messages" and if you selected 26 it would say "Delete 26 messages". 2. Unfortunately it seems that in iOS 18 Voiceover does not say if a message you double tapped on is selected or not. It's been a while since I deleted selected messages from a conversation, but it used to indicate "selected" for each message you double tapped on. I recommend that if your conversation contains a lot of messages that you maybe delete them in smaller batches like try first to delete 4 or 5, then another 5 and once you get comfortable with it you can delete more if you want. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Mohammad Fazil Sent: Wednesday, September 18, 2024 11:37 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Keeping a message from a thread?
