Delete All Text Messages with One Person on the iPhone 5

I don’t do a lot of video or picture messaging, so freeing up space isn’t a primary concern of mine when I’m deleting text messages. But I do get a lot of group text messages, and I have mistakenly texted a group of people many times when I thought I was texting an individual person. This is the main reason that I frequently delete text message conversations.   Step 1: Launch the Messages app.

    Step 2: Scroll to the name of the person that is associated with the conversation you want to delete.

    Step 3: Tap the Edit button at the top-left corner of the screen.

    Step 4: Tap the red circle to the left of the conversation that you want to delete.

    Step 5: Tap the Delete button.

    Step 6: Tap the Done button at the top-left corner of the screen to exit the Edit screen.
