Delete iPhone Text Messages: There are some text messages that you want to keep and other messages that you don’t care about. Sometimes there’s one message you want to hide it from others or don’t want to read this. And sometimes you can have your messages automatically removed, so there may be a time when you just want to delete them yourself.
For a new iPhone user, here’s a tip remember for maintenance, safety, or sanity. We’ll show you how to delete text messages on iPhone.
Delete iPhone Text Messages:

Step 2:
Click and hold the text message. You can delete both messages sent to you and those you send to others.
Step 3:
Select More from the shortcut menu.
Step 4:
The text message will be marked with a check. You can then click the Trash can icon to delete it.
If you want to remove some messages, select and mark them all and then click the Trash can or tap Delete All at the top to delete all of them.
