How to delete text messages on iPhone?
If you have an iPhone And you text someone, the message saves automatically. Sometimes my mom takes my phone and she wants to look something up and it shows a text message that I sent, I hate it and its kinda embarrassing. I don't mean "going to the message app and tapping edit… " I mean, I want to delete it from the hard drive for good. Anyone?
If you just want them to stop showing up when you search for something even if they're deleted, go to settings > general > spotlight search and then un-check messages.
If you want them 100% deleted so that someone can't go back into settings and enable it again just to look through your messages then you'll have to reset/restore your phone. Supposedly there's apps for it but I don't know of any so I'm not even sure about that.
If you want to delete text messages on iPhone permanetly without recovery, you can use iPhone Text Message Eraser tool.
- When I receive text messages with emojis from an iPhone, why do the messages only appear partially? My phone is a "Verizon Samsung Intensity II" slide phone. (Also it's blue but that doesn't matter.) Also, if I'm included in an iPhone group chat (spoiled rich friends, but not snobby…), I get each posted message as a separate message, so I'll end up randomly with 67 unread messages clogging up my inbox.

- I can send text messages from my iPhone but can't receive messages? I have an iPhone 5, and i was texting my friends (who also have iPhones) and my messages send to them as text messages (not iMessages) but their texts don't come through to me. I have a macbook air and have my phone number hooked up to messages, so i can receive the messages there, but not my actual phone.
