Q: How do you go to the very beginning of a text message thread?

I am trying to go back to the very beginning of the text message thread that goes back about two years. It just takes way to long to go back by clicking on the time and then selecting load messages. Any suggestions on how to go to the very beginning of the text conversation?

iPhone 5s, iOS 7.0.4

When in the thread, try tapping on the status bar (where it shows the time).

Unless it has actually been deleted just keep loading earlier messages. When it stops loading them, that will be as far back as you can go.
