I had saved a few days' worth of messages and they all seem to have disappeared. I didn't delete all messages or clear all messages deliberately and yet they are gone. Is there a specific limit to how messages can be left on a phone? My phone is a 5 and I'm still running the last incarnation of six.
Thanks.

Hello Alan,

As always, it's good to hear from you.

No apologies necessaries.

Allow me to explain.

When you open the native iOS Messaging app, you are placed in the Inbox
which consist of Contact-Recipient based SMS conversation threads, similar
to the conversation view in many popular email clients.

While you can delete, forward, and reply to various portions of the SMS
thread, unlike in an email client or the Android OS, you cannot create
custom-named folders, such as Important, Music, Pets, Proof of Payment, etc, in which to store various conversations. Further, there is no way, at least not one of which I am aware, to lock a thread or in some way prevent it from
being accidentally deleted.

These days, more and more people are using SMS to both verify payments,
confirm contracts, and prove intent in a court of law.

In my opinion, this is yet another area where Apple needs to play catch-up
with Android.

Mark

I don't understand your question. On my iPhone 4 and on my iPhone 5s, all I
need to do is to open "Messages"  In messages are folders.  Within those
folders are the text messages received and sent by a particular person.
Each person I text with gets their own folder.  I can edit that folder and
delete  messages or delete the folder.  So I'm missing something here or
your referring to something else totally and I've missed the thread and if
that's the case I apologize in advance.

Hello Everyone,

I just want to make certain I'm not missing something.  As of iOS 7.0.3,
there is still no way to save, lock, or organize SMS messages, right?

I keep reading all these articles that talk about all the new features in
iOS 7 but there does not appear to be anything new about preserving text
messages.

I know of an app called Copy Trans that allows one to back up SMS but I do
not know of one that allows one to read saved SMS messages on the iOS
device, itself..

If anyone knows of anything like this, I would greatly appreciate hearing
about it.

Thank you,

Mark
