Jumping to first message in imessage conversation

Is there a way to jump back to the very first message in a conversation within imessage? I know how to tap the time in the top left, which seemingly jumps back a few days, but I mean the VERY first message. In a year's long text conversation, all the methods I've found would take hours.


Thank you

That is probably as close as you are going to get by tapping on the time, since the entire message is not being loaded into memory when you open it. That is why if you did that and then tapped on it again, you will see if refreshes by loading more content. I'm guessing this is quite a long thread. You can provide feedback to Apple to let them know you would like to see something that could do what you are asking. The feedback link is Feedback - iPhone - Apple
