Deleting texts

How can I transfer pictures from text to my photos on my iphone? Why is an iphone so complicated?

How can I delete all texts at once. I could do this on my LG and samsung phone so easy.


iPhone 11, iOS 15

For photos, you should see a little square to the side of the photo to save it to your iPhone's Recents album on the phone. You can also long press on the phone and select Save. To delete multiple texts, you tap on Edit, then Select Texts, and after you have selected those you wish to delete, tap on Delete, the select Delete button. This dual request is to give you a chance to realize that you are going to delete messages, so you make sure you wish to delete them, because once you do, they are gone.

This is not helpful. I do not use the apple photos. I use my google account from my old phone. I still do not know how to save my photos from my texts to my photos.

To a great extent, your question is one for Google.


However, if you tap and hold on a photo in Messages, you'll be offered the option to save it to photos. Do that. Then, install the Google Photos app on your phone and configure it to sync the photos on your phone.
