Is there a fast way to see the first text message from a contact? Probably thousands of text messages to and from this contact. These an not deleted messages. If I have to hit the time at the top of the screen I will be doing that for hours. I can search a word but when I click on the message it takes be back to the current text message screen.
iPhone 12
Greetings dleke,
We understand you’re wanting to scroll back to the beginning of a thread in the Messages app.
Tapping the time is a good way to do that, though you’re correct that messages will have to load, tap it again, more messages load, etc. Other than scrolling, that is the most efficient way to get through them on your iPhone.
When you use the Search function from the list of threads, it’s going to show you more recent entries, but if you tap ‘See All’ next to Conversations, does it show instances within threads that are much later? If so, can you tap on that and go back to the message or is that when it takes you to just the most recent messages?
Thanks.
