Is there a shortcut to jump to the start of a text conversation?

Hpw can I quickly get to the top of a text message thread from one person. There is no time stamp displayed in the heading, only the name and photo

IPhone 13 Pro is the device. I desperately copy all tests for legal evidece in a court case.

Or, is there a way to transfer them to a drive that will keep the date and time for each text,

Time stamp for each text message entry on Message When I, or someone, starts a text conversation there is a date and time stamped at the beginning, but not for each entry into the conversation. In my job, it is important to note when I send and receive messages with in a conversation. Sometimes there may be an hour or more between conversation entries, but to look at it, it looks like a back and forth conversation. Is it possible to display a time stamp for each entry in a text conversation? Either sending or receiving text messages? [Re-Titled by Moderator]

How to "pull" a text message thread as a file, etc............ On my iPhone I have a text message thread that I'd like to save as a file. The reason being a legal one. Let's just say that I want to be able to present this thread to someone should the need present itself. I don't have a MAC computer, just this horrible PC running Windows. Because of that I cannot access the text like I could when using my (no longer running) Macbook. I spoke with an Apple Support person, and he didn't know of a way to accomplish this. He suggested that I look for a 3rd Party app. Can anyone suggest a way that I can pull this text thread off and save it as a file (readable by MAC and Windows)? I really would like to remove the thread from my phone so that I don't have to look at it anymore. And keeping it on the phone "just in case" for years to come really isn't an desirable option.

While you can jump to where you left off in a conversation, you cannot jump to the start. To get to the top most efficiently, I would suggest tapping the upper part of your phone screen (where the time/cellular/battery are located) and it will scroll up to the top as quick as it can, with the only limiter being your phone loading the messages.
