Can't delete text message on iPhone XR, iOS 16.0.2 Iphone XR iOS 16.0.2 I have one SMS in my messages that I cannot delete. I press hard on it, then press "delete" and the SMS pops back in the list. I can delete other messages, but this single one stays. I have restarted my iPhone, nothing changes. Anybody else experiences this?
