Removing a message works the same for iMessages, multimedia messages, and for standard SMS text messages. To prevent any mistakes, you may want to adjust the setting to show full names within Messages before modifying or removing them.
Delete Individual Segments of a Messages
- Open the messages conversation, then tap and hold on any text or image within the message dialog
- Choose “More” from the pop-up menu, then tap on the messages to delete so that a checkbox appears next to them
- Tap the Trash icon in the corner, then confirm the message deletion by choosing “Delete Message”
The primary difference between how this works now post iOS 7 versus Messages prior to iOS 7 is the removal of the “Edit” button, which has now be transformed into part of either the tap-and-hold trick mentioned above, or as a gesture which we’ll cover next.
If you’d prefer to delete an entire message thread, you can do that too, which is actually much easier than removing parts of a conversation.
Delete an Entire Messages Conversation
- Open Messages app and from the primary message screen, swipe left on the entire conversation to delete
- Tap the red “Delete” button to instsantly remove the entire message conversation
Unlike removing segments of conversations, deleting the entire conversation has no confirmation, so be sure you want to delete the entire thread before continuing.
The removal of buttons is widespread throughout iOS after the 7.0 release, and like in many places there has been a move to gestures instead, whether it’s quitting out of apps, unlocking the screen, deleting emails and messages, or searching spotlight.
