Text Forwarding Explained

Whether it’s sharing important information, funny memes, or heartfelt messages, we often find ourselves wanting to pass along these texts to others. Fortunately, forwarding a text message is a simple task that can be accomplished on most smartphones.

Text message forwarding allows you to send a message you have received to another recipient, either within the same messaging app or through a different platform like email. This feature is handy for sharing information quickly and efficiently. However, remember that forwarded text messages can not be deleted once sent to another contact.

Forward a Text

First, open the Messages app. Refer to the image below.

Next, tap the conversation containing the text you want to forward. See the below image:

Now, long press on the body of the message you want to forward, then tap More. See the following image:

Next, all the messages will have small circles that will appear to the left of each text, with the chosen message already selected. If desired, tap the circle next to any other messages you want to forward. Refer to the image below:

Forward 4 — Tapping the circle next to the message you want to forward

Now, tap the Forward icon, and a new message will open. See the below image:

Next, enter your recipient’s contact information and tap the contact when it pops up. See the following image:

Now, tap the Send icon. Refer to the image below:

Your friend will receive the text you have forwarded. So much easier than retyping a whole message or using copy and paste!

Enhance Your iMessage with iOS 18 Text Effects

The latest iOS updates enhance the Messages app by allowing users to use bold, italics, and animated text effects in iMessage on iOS 18 or later. These features add flair and emphasis to messages, but recipients must also have iOS 18 to view them properly.

Overview

The Messages app is much livelier thanks to the latest updates to iOS. With these updates, you can express yourself in more ways than ever with special effects. You can now bold text, italicize it, and even apply some of these effects to emojis! Let’s find out how to add the impact to iMessage in iOS 18.

What’s to Like About This Feature

Add some extra flair to every text you send.
Emphasize parts of a message to make it stand out.

Adding Effects to a Message

First, open an iMessage conversation, and tap the Text Effects button to the lower right. Refer to the below image:

Text Effects 1 — Selecting the Text Effects button

Next, there is a wide variety of text effects to choose from. Just highlight the text to which you want to apply an effect. The top row is simply for formatting the text. You can choose between Bold, Italics, Underline, ~~Strikethrough~~, or all at once. See the below image:

How to Delete All Facebook Messages/Chats at Once

The post discusses methods for deleting Facebook Messenger chats on iPhone and desktop. It advises changing message retention settings on the iPhone and provides steps for deleting messages on both platforms. It also mentions using Chrome extensions for bulk deletion.

RAYMOND OGLESBY @RaymondOglesby2
April 2, 2024

This is for the iPhone and desktop using Google. Screenshots are from iPhone 14 Pro running iOS 17.3 and Windows 10.

I was surprised at the number of Facebook Messenger chats on my iPhone. I started to delete them one at a time. But doing so was too time-consuming; there had to be a better way.

If you research this post, you will find articles that say bulk deletion of chats cannot be done. But with the help of Google Extensions, you can delete all your chats at once.

This blog post is one of my favorites, especially since I have thousands of chats that I want to delete. We had forgotten that the Forever option was selected, which as you may guess, saves your chats forever.

Where is a chat, a message, a conversation, or a thread used?

A chat is a term used in Messenger (owned by Facebook). A message is a term found on Facebook. In Facebook if there is more than one message with a person, group, or entity, that is labeled a conversation. For a thread, that is used in Reddit.

Check Your Settings

Why do you have hundreds or thousands of chats? On your iPhone head to:

Settings > Messages > Keep Messages

and tap the option. If the option is set to Forever you will have lots of chats. Refer to the below image:

FB Messages 1 — Your Facebook Message time setting

We recommend you choose another option. When you do so, all older chats will be automatically deleted. We are selecting to delete messages older than one year. On the confirmation screen, tap Delete Older Messages. See the below image:

FB Messages 3 — Selecting to delete messages older than one year

Your Keep Messages will now be set to the option you just chose. See the following image:

FB Messages 5 — Your Keep Messages setting

Deleting Facebook messages does not have to be incredibly difficult. Whether you are deleting one or an entire history, there are options for you to do both with minimal effort.

Some users may find it easier to delete their entire Facebook account, although we do not recommend this. For now, let’s just clean up your messages/chats.

Using iPhone

Deleting messages on an iPhone or iPad one at a time:

Open the Facebook Messenger app.
Tap and hold the message that you no longer want, then swipe to the left.
When the menu appears, select Delete.
Confirm the selection by tapping Delete.

If you want to delete in bulk, it would be best to use a browser.

Using a Browser

Log into your Facebook account.
Click See all in Messenger.
Click on the 3-dot menu icon next to a conversation.
Click Delete Chat if you want to erase all the chats.
Confirm your deletion by clicking Delete Chat.

But what can you do about multiple messages and multiple conversations? For this, you have to install a third-party browser extension.

Using a Chrome Extension

Extensions become a part of your web browser and allow you to perform various functions on a website. To delete multiple or all of your Facebook message history, we need to install a web browser extension.

Whether it’s Chrome, Firefox, or Internet Explorer, we will begin by using Google to pull up the Web Store.

Note! You will find a lot of Chrome extensions for deletion of messages. We strongly recommend only using the following extensions from the Chrome web store, not from third-party web sites.

Extension: Delete Facebook Messages

You want to use Google Search to find the “Delete Facebook Messages” extension. Once you have found it, click Add to Chrome. Refer to the below image:

FB Messages 6 — Adding Delete Facebook Messages Chrome extension

You will be prompted through various pop-ups until that extension is added. To view the added extension:

Click the 3-dot menu icon in the upper right-hand > Exenesions > Manage Extensions

See the below image:

FB Messages 7 — Delete Facebook Messages Chrome extension

Now, let’s add the extension icon to the Chrome toolbar. Click the Details option. See the following image:

FB Messages 8 — Selecting Details for the Chrome extension

Next, toggle the Pin to toolbar to ON. Refer to the below image:

FB Messages 9 — Toggle Pin to toolbar to ON

Now, the Delete Facebook Messages icon will be in your toolbar. See the below image:

FB Messages 10 — The Chrome extension icon

Next, click the Delete Facebook Messages icon and choose the Begin Deletion option. See the following image:

FB Messages 11 — Launching the Chrome extension

Note! To use this extension more than once, there is a subscription fee.

Extension: Message Cleaner

To install the Chrome extension, search for Message Cleaner using Google Search, then select Add to Chrome. Refer to the below image:

B Messages 13 — Adding the Message Cleaner Chrome extension

Follow the directions above to add its icon to the toolbar.

The extension icon will be labeled Delete all Facebook Messages in your Chrome toolbar. When you click the extension icon you can Open Messages and Delete All Messages. For one-click deletion, press the F8 key. See the below image:

FB Messages 12 — Launching the Message Cleaner Chrome extension

This extension works best if you scroll down to the bottom of the message list. Once you start the extension, it will recognize all the messages as being selected for removal. You can also then pick individual messages that you may want to save.

If you selected “all” before clicking “confirm,” the only way to get those messages back is to ask the person you sent them to for help or to use data recovery methods to retrieve backed-up information, assuming you have them backed up.

Seven Hidden iPhone Message Features

The iPhone’s Messages app has numerous little-known features. Users can track live flights, unlock animations with secret codes, mark messages as unread, stop spam messages, and use Visual Lookup on sent messages. The recently released iOS 17 introduced features to quickly access photos and Check-In, which notifies contacts when the user arrives safely at a destination. The information shared via Check-In is end-to-end encrypted and can provide safety assurance.

RAYMOND OGLESBY @RaymondOglesby2
December 12, 2023

This is for the iPhone. Screenshots are from iPhone 14 Pro running iOS 17+

Even if you use the iPhone’s Messages app every day, there’s a chance you do not know everything it’s capable of. To fully appreciate the app, here are a few of the most hidden secrets Messages offers users. Let’s explore these features.

Track Live Flights

If you have a friend or family member flying, you can see exactly where they are as long as you know the flight number. Let’s say the flight is AA7262, and they just sent you the flight number. Long press the flight number, then tap on Preview Flight. You will see all the details about the flight. Refer to the below image:

Unblock Animations With Secret Codes

You can get custom animations depending on the phrase you sent on iMessage. While you can long press the Send button before sending a message to choose a proper animation, you can also trigger them depending on the message. Here are some examples:

Happy Birthday! – balloons will appear
Congratulations! – confetti rain
Happy New Year! – fireworks
Happy Chinese New Year! – red explosion
Pew pew – laser light show

See the below image:

Unread a Message

One of the best features available with the Messages app on your iPhone running iOS 16 or above is the ability to mark a message as unread. If you have already read it but do not have time to reply at the moment, you can leave a notification badge on it. To mark messages as unread, tap and hold a conversation in the app’s Inbox and select Mark as Unread. See the following image:

Stop Spam Messages

iMessage has a great feature that can split your Messages Inbox by different senders. Head to:

Settings > Messages > Filter Unknown Senders

and toggle to ON. Scroll up to:

Notifications > Customize Notifications > Unknown Senders

and toggle to OFF.

With that, you will not be notified about spam or messages from people you do not know. You just need to check the Unknown Senders tab every now and then. Refer to the below image:

Visual Lookup On Sent Messages

Visual LookUp works like Google Lens, which can tell you what’s in an image. An example, to view info about a plant:

Take a photo of a plant
Open Photos and find the image
Swipe up on the image
Tap Look Up

Now, view the results from Siri knowledge. See the below image:

Quickly Open Photos

With iOS 17, there’s a new feature to access your Photos in your Messages. Just long press the “+” icon in the bottom left-hand corner and select a photo to place in your message. To access a new menu of options, just press the “+” sign. See the following image:

To access a new menu of options, just press the “+” sign. Refer to the below image:

Check In

This is a new iOS 17 feature. It works when a user wants to notify a family member or friend that they have safely made it to their destination. After a user initiates a Check In, their friend or family member will automatically be notified when the user arrives. If they are not making progress toward their destination, useful information will be temporarily shared with the selected contact, such as the device’s location, battery level, and cell service status.

One of the primary benefits of Check In is the safety assurance it provides. Personal safety is paramount, whether navigating the streets late at night, venturing into unfamiliar territory, or heading home, Check In serves as a digital guardian. It offers security, letting your contacts know you’ve safely arrived at your intended destination. Any information shared is end-to-end encrypted. Both the recipient and sender must have iOS 17 or higher installed.

To use this feature:

Open the Messages app. Tap on the conversation where you want to use Check In.
Next, tap the plus (+) button, choose More, and select Check In.
If it’s your first time, follow the on-screen instructions. You must decide between Limited or Full data-sharing access. These options give you control over the level of location access.
Tap the Continue button as you read through the on-screen explanations until you see the Send a Check In button and tap it.

After that, if you do not reach your destination within the set time or place an Emergency SOS Call, your iPhone will prompt you to check if everything’s okay. If you do not respond within 15 minutes, Check In will alert your contact.

How to Mark All Messages as Read on iPhone and iPad

Many things are easy and obvious on Apple devices. But every so often you come across something that is not. If you want to mark all your emails as read on iPhone and/or iPad and clear those indicators, let’s explore how this is done.

RAYMOND OGLESBY @RaymondOglesby2
June 21, 2022

This is for the iPhone and iPad

Dilbert and Source Code — *Copyright Scott Adams, Inc./Distributed by Universal Uclick for UFS*

Whether you have a mailbox full of unread messages or just a group that you want to mark as read, you can do both in the Mail app on your Apple device.

Mark as Read on iPhone and iPad

First, open the mailbox in the Mail app on iPhone or iPad or choose All Inboxes to take care of all your mailboxes at once. You can also pick a specific folder. Tap Edit on the top right-hand corner and Select All on the top left-hand corner.

On the bottom left-hand corner, tap Mark and select the Mark as Read option. Refer to the below image:

Mark as Read on Mobile

Maybe you have just a group of emails that you want to mark. They might be newsletters, promotional emails, or confirmation messages.

First, open the mailbox or folder in the Mail app and tap Edit on the top right-hand corner.

Next, you can select each message one at a time if they are not adjacent to each other. Or, to select a range of emails that are next to each other, drag your finger through them to mark them all quickly.

Now, tap Mark on the bottom left-hand corner and select the Mark as Read option. See the below image:

You can also use the Search feature to find particular emails and mark messages as “read” the same way.

Once you clear those unread indicators in your inbox or badge on the Mail icon, you can start fresh with new messages.

How to Easily Delete Old Text Messages on iPhone or iPad

You might want to delete plain text messages because of the storage space they use. Also, you may want to delete messages for privacy reasons or just because it keeps your Messages app better organized. Plus, texts with images actually can take up a fair bit of room.

You might want to delete plain text messages because of the storage space they use. Also, you may want to delete messages for privacy reasons or just because it keeps your Messages app better organized. Plus, texts with images actually can take up a fair amount of space.

By default, your iPhone and iPad save every iMessage and SMS text message that comes your way. As a result, you could have years of messages synced to iCloud that follow you for the rest of your life, taking up valuable space. Fortunately, there’s a way to delete old text messages automatically. Lets explore how this is done.

This is for the iPhone and iPad. Screenshots are from an iPhone

Dilbert and Done — *Copyright Scott Adams, Inc./Distributed by Universal Uclick for UFS*

First, lets check how much storage you are using for messages and attachments (like photos on an iPhone). Go to

Settings > General > iPhone Storage > (scroll down to) Messages

Notice the amount of storage used by Documents & Data, and tap on Review Large Attachments for more detail. Refer to below image where I can save 145 MB by deleting them:

Text 1 — Viewing how much storage space is being used

Now, exit back to Settings (the gear icon) on your iPhone or iPad. See below image:

Now, in Settings, scroll down and tap the Messages option. See following image:

Next, in Messages, scroll down and tap the Keep Messages option. Refer to below image:

Text 4 — Accessing the Keep Messages option. The default is Forever

By default, Messages is set to keep your SMS text messages and iMessages forever. Next, tap either 30 Days or 1 Year depending on how long you would like to keep your old text messages. See below image:

Text 5 — Selecting your option on how long to keep text messages

After tapping your preference, you will see a pop-up dialog asking whether you want to delete all messages older than the time period you specified. If you are sure, just tap the Delete button. See following image:

Text 6 — Pop-up window showing the option you selected

Next, exit Settings. From now on, Messages will automatically delete any messages once they hit the 30-day or 1-year mark, depending on which option you specified. Note! The default, Forever, will remain checked until you tap the Delete button.

Now, head back to

Settings > General > iPhone Storage > (scroll down to) Messages

and check your Messages storage for the amount of space you reclaimed.

How to Mark Text Messages as All Read on iPhone or iPad

If you have a large number of unread text messages on your iPhone or iPad, dealing with them one-by-one can be a hassle. Thanks to Apple, it’s easy to mark every one of your unread messages as read but the feature is not well known. Let’s explore how to mark all text messages as read.

This is for iPhone and iPad

Dilbert and Format — *Copyright Scott Adams, Inc./Distributed by Universal Uclick for UFS*

First, open your Messages app. Now, on an iPhone, look in the upper-right corner of the screen and tap the ellipses button, which looks like three dots in a circle. Refer to below image:

For the iPad, tap the Edit button in upper left-hand corner.

A pop-up menu will be displayed. Next, tap the Select Messages option. See below image:

Now, your messages will enter “Edit” mode. But you don’t need to deal with individual messages. On both iPhone and iPad, look for the Read All button in the lower left- hand corner of your screen and tap it. See following image:

At first glance, you may be thinking that the Read All means “I am going to read all my messages”. Actually, it means “I have read all my messages”. Apple should have put in a clarification note as to what Read All means.

After that, all unread messages will be marked as read. You will receive no notification that they all read but they will be. Cool feature!

That’s it. Please feel free to share this post! One way to share is via Twitter, as mentioned below.
