This is rreally helpful now thanks, I figured out that I couldn't find the edit button because I may have had a conversation expanded out. I did a three finger swipe I think it was and it went back a page and hay ho, the edit button appeared. I also didn't realise that when you double tap the delete button to the left of the message, another delete button appears in the same place that you need to double click again, I just thought that it was repeating the delete button as I had done something wrong.
Thanks again for yur help, I will have another play tonight and see if I make any more progress. -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Christopher Chaltain Sent: 11 March 2014 09:07 To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Reading Messages 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.
