        Ridiculous that you have to delete messages individually. Other phones have had this capability for years.

        People need to be able to select particular messages for deletion, and not be limited to deleting the entire thread or individual messages one-at-a-time.

        You should do the same prosess as for e-mails! I have more than a 100 threads a day and bulk deletion is necessary - now opening the sms store takes at least 30 sec!!!!

        Yes! i cannot believe this would not be implemented.. even my old samsung clamshell flip phone from the early 00's would do this.. these conversations accumulate and having to delete each individual one is extremely tedious. please implement this for WP7 and WP8 as well as an orientation lock.. ill be a happy customer.

        not all
        but Microsoft should enable multiple selection of messages to edit them

        This is really horrible. If I knew all this never could buy such mobile. Never expected this kind of armature activities from Nokia...

        First phone ever all SMS could not be marked for deletion - a step backwards. Must be implemented asap.

        Option to select multiple threads, just like in the email application.
        Select All / Select few

        Selecting multiple, individual list items(text messages, call logs, etc...)to delete or keep! How is this NOT A PRIORITY? People use texting to communicate WAY more than anything else now! Either fix this or u can pretty-much write off the WP being commercially relevant. HELLO!!! Verizon = largest carrier & the Trophy's the sole option...good phone w/one blazing flaw.

        This phone & OS is supposed to be all about efficiently using ones time. It's a good product and I'm onboard with it but users need the options and ability to select multiple individual texts in a thread or list, such as call history, to either keep or delete.

        I just can't see why they didn't add this in the first place. It works in Outlook, so why not for SMS?

      • AnonymousAnonymous commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

        Agree. If someone have more than 20 conversations (like me) you understand that it will be useful to delete groups of conversations without deleting them one at time.

        i hope they could add this feature.. coz erasing messages one-by-one is really annoying sometimes. :p

        For work I receive multiple pages everyday. To remove them I have to select them individually to delete. Please add the ability to select multiple txt messages/conversations (just like you can with email) and delete them using the Trash can icon. This would be a huge time savings. I have found that I can hover on the message which brings up the Delete message more quickly rather than having to go into the conversation which saves time. However, if I could select multiple messages at once and hit the delete, this would be far more efficient.
