To send a message, you can go into the Messages app and double tap on the compose button at the top of the screen. If you go into your Contacts app, you can also select a contact and send a message from there. There are probably other ways to do this as well.

I'm not sure what you're asking when you ask about where to swipe on the screen after editing.

so much!

I have now managed to add in contacts, the little button at the right of the 
field that you are editing is useful, I think it was called delete entry 
orsomething, that seems to clear the field completely.
When I swipe on the screen after editing, does it matter where I swipe?

Could you tell me how I would create a new message now, I go in to the phone 
app and I can swipe between the contacts that I have but if I double tap it 
tried to call them.
Do I have to do a new message through the message app instead of the phone app?

To edit what you've typed into a message, you need to use the roter.
Place two fingers on the screen and rotate them like you're twisting a dial. 
It'll take some getting used to. Two of the options you'll hear are characters 
and words. Once you've selected one of these two options in the roter you can 
then move through your message by character or word by flicking up and down. 
Now you can insert and delete text.

If you want to delete all of the messages you exchanged between yourself and a 
person then in your Messages app, make sure you're at the list of your 
conversations. You may need to hit the back button to get there.
Now double tap on the Edit button. You can flick right between your 
conversations, which will now have the word delete in front of them.
Double tap on the conversation you want to delete and then double tap on the 
delete button that pops up. When you're done, double tap on the done button at 
the top of your screen.

If you want to delete a specific message within a conversation then double tap 
on that conversation so you see your list of messages within that conversation. 
Now do a flick up until you hear More .... Once you hear More .... then do a 
double tap. Now you can double tap on the messages you want to delete and then 
double tap on the delete button at the bottom of the screen to delete your 
selected messages. You'll see the number of messages you'll delete when you 
find the delete button.

I'm saying flick and not swipe, although I think Apple uses both terms 
interchangeably. Flick your one finger to the right or the left as if you're 
flicking a piece of dust off of your iPhone screen. I'd say it's more than a 
few millimeters, but you'll know if you get it right, since you'll jump to the 
next object. If you don't move your finger enough then it'll just act as a 
single tap and just select the object immediately under your finger.

Thanks, that is really helpful, I have two phones and have been able to reply 
to a message now which is a bonus.
I still can't delete them, in a message list, to the far left, I managed to get 
to a point where it says delete and then the message details, I double clicked 
that but the message didn't seem to go and it just said delete after that.
The most frustrating thing is that I can't seem to edit what I have typed in to 
a message.

When you say sswipe to the left or right, just one finger on the screen and 
slide it to the left or right a few millimetres?

No, to reply to a message, just double tap to open up the thread and you'll 
have a edit field near the bottom of the screen. Double tap in the edit field 
to activate it, type your message and double tap the send button above and to 
the right of the virtual keyboard. It looks kind of like an instant messaging 
screen where you have all of your messages back and forth going down the screen 
with a place to type your message at the bottom.

I'm not sure if you're aware of this yet or not, but you can move between 
objects on your screen by flicking left and right. You don't always have to 
explore the screen by moving your finger around. Also, once you hear VoiceOver 
read an object, you can activate it by just double tapping anywhere on the 
screen. You don't have to double tap the object itself.

I am guessing that reply may be in the edit option now to answer my
previous question.

To delete messages choose the edit option and then you can select the
message you want to delete then choose the delete button.

Hello friends,

Can anyone give me a quick over view of how text messaging works?

I click to open messages and it seems to list them on the screen.

I am assuming that I scan around on the screen to see hwat messages
are there and then double tap to open them?

Hsow do I delete a message, there doesn't seem to be a delete button
on the screen anywhere.
