A lot of messages in my iphone?

I have been with my boyfriend for almost a year now and we text pretty much everyday and we both have Iphones. I have never deleted a text from him and I want to get to the very beginning of all our messages. Is there any way to get to the top other than scrolling through a ton of messages? It would take days of nonstop scrolling.

You can tap the status bar, which make everything scroll to top, It's been a long time since I used iPhone so I don't know it they have it anymore.
