Hello everyone,

Does anyone know how I can keep just the last 50 messages or so of a sms thread? I want to delete messages because it just takes too long to load now (the thread is around 850 messages), but I don't want to delete them all if I don't have to (the delete thread function). I also don't want to delete them all individually.

On a side note, does anybody know of any app in the works that will contend with the default messaging app in terms of efficiency so that this is not a problem?

Thanks guys.

there is no option to keep only X amount of messages per thread. Your only option is to delete each message (not thread) one-by-one until you get down to a level you like...

I just clear them all periodically. I may be in the minority here, but I don't think I've ever gotten an SMS I couldn't live without.

I was thinking of just deleting them all (nothing really important), I just like it going back a little ways (50 both ways is about a days worth with this person :p)

I can't see why it does not just delete the older ones when you get a new text.. This annoys me...
