I suspect what they meant to say was you cannot and you need to select one at a time. The feedback link was provided for you to suggest the feature to Apple if you wish.


However, if you tap on Edit in the upper left corner of the screen, then tap on Select Messages, you can select multiple messages, then tap on Delete in the lower right corner of the screen. You just cannot select all and then delete, you have to select them individually, but can delete multiple messages at once.

This hilariously the most convuluted logic!!! .....' you want to delete AT ONCE....if thats the case need you need to delete one at a time"...thats any oxymoron...at once is not one at a time. You want to say is that you cant do it...not qualify by saying if thats the case, which implies yes you can do it! LOL>>> But thanks for trying to answer!!!
