Deleted messages still showing up with timestamp

Does anyone that represents Apple even read these topics anymore? Just look at how many unanswered topics exist in these forums. It's truly sad. You guys had a good product and are deliberately screwing it up and ignoring the consequences. At least that's the way it seems.

Just make something that works, and leave it alone.

yes i found a way and it worked in my apple i phone 6s+

i just kept iphone open with messanger and chat, then i opened facebook messanger on computer and deleted all the messages on messanger in computer.

and automatically it was all clear in apple phone. since with what we have logged in (computer/phone) there we should delete .

earlier i had over 500 messages in chat with one person, but now its all empty!

Hi. I have the same problem as yours and here's what Ive done. Just go to Settings-General-Spotlight Search-Uncheck the Message or anything you dont want to include during Spotlight Search. It works

Has anyone heard if there is a fix for this?

Hi, whitey810,

It's a normal situation that after deleting an message, you still see it on your iPhone. You know, when deleting an message, it's moved from the place where you see it, but it still exist somewhere on your iPhone. And the cache for the message is still there too. That's why you can see the deleted text messages in timestamp and spotlight. If you want to delete unwanted text messages completely, you should try a software to remove them from your iPhone permanently. I know SafeEraser is a good tool to erase information from iPhone.

I though maybe the IOS 8.0.3 would fix this but no, its still there.

When you delete a message, Ive noticed that after I delete a single text the time stamp from that text still shows up as if it were there even though the message is gone. It keeps the contact at the top of the messenger list even though the last message was actually deleted. Is there a way to disable this or make it accurately depict the last messages time that is actually in the message thread

I jsut went from ios7 to ios 9 and exactly what you said has happened. I use this phone for business and used to delete the unimportant texts, so the important ones woul[d stay at the top of my screen for the next day. Now, when you delete individual texts, it doesn't move them down anymore. Have they ever fixed this yet?

If they had changed it, it wouldn't still be happening.

Apple c'mon please fix this issue. My girlfriend is gonna be really upset when she catches me cheating! you don't want that on your hands, she's crazy!!

Some obvious solutions: 1) put a passcode on your phone, 2) delete all of your text messages, and the extremely obvious 3) don't cheat.

My sympathies to your girlfriend, especially if she ever finds out she has a lying cheat of a boyfriend who disparages her sanity in public.

Have you noticed that it also affects facebook app ?

Facebook is not an Apple app. It works however FaceBook has decided is should work. You should take up any problems you have with that app with FaceBook.

It's an obvious privacy violation. Regardless of what I'm deleting and why, if someone were to go through my phone it would be obvious that information was missing. Revert the text scheme to the way it was before, with timestamps reverting to the last non-deleted message. Fix this Apple!

Meg, do be more considerate and understand that not everyone has your amazing moral compass, and don't disparage or libel them. Calling someone a liar is the most libelous thing you can do. And your post has been reported.

It is only libel if it's not true. Given that the poster admitted to the misbehavior, I think I'm in the clear on this one.

Welp...I just upgraded to iOS 8.3, hoping that this very annoying anomaly would finally get fixed. Alas, it hasn't.

How does this fix how messages are displayed in the Messagea app?
