how do i get rid of the grey stringy thing in my one person text message

I’m in a text conversation with my mom. Randomly a grey stringy thing appeared tied to a photo I sent her. She can’t receive any messages when the string is there but if I tap the small image of the photo I sent her the string goes away and she gets my texts. However I can’t exit the conversation without tapping the top bar with her name. When I do that the string reappears. How do I get rid of that!?

Hey Jessab7,

Are you referring to a reply to a conversation?

As of iOS 14 and later, you can reply in Messages to specific messages that were sent. Replies are then stored in their own collapsible miniature conversation. When not in that conversation, you can see the initial reply as a grey right angle line. Is that what you're seeing?

If you tap outside of a reply thread, it then returns you to the normal conversation where the other texts you've been sending her or she's been sending you are located.

Cheers!
