To edit what you've typed into a message, you need to use the roter.
Place two fingers on the screen and rotate them like you're twisting a
dial. It'll take some getting used to. Two of the options you'll hear
are characters and words. Once you've selected one of these two options
in the roter you can then move through your message by character or word
by flicking up and down. Now you can insert and delete text.
If you want to delete all of the messages you exchanged between yourself
and a person then in your Messages app, make sure you're at the list of
your conversations. You may need to hit the back button to get there.
Now double tap on the Edit button. You can flick right between your
conversations, which will now have the word delete in front of them.
Double tap on the conversation you want to delete and then double tap on
the delete button that pops up. When you're done, double tap on the done
button at the top of your screen.
If you want to delete a specific message within a conversation then
double tap on that conversation so you see your list of messages within
that conversation. Now do a flick up until you hear More .... Once you
hear More .... then do a double tap. Now you can double tap on the
messages you want to delete and then double tap on the delete button at
the bottom of the screen to delete your selected messages. You'll see
the number of messages you'll delete when you find the delete button.
I'm saying flick and not swipe, although I think Apple uses both terms
interchangeably. Flick your one finger to the right or the left as if
you're flicking a piece of dust off of your iPhone screen. I'd say it's
more than a few millimeters, but you'll know if you get it right, since
you'll jump to the next object. If you don't move your finger enough
then it'll just act as a single tap and just select the object
immediately under your finger.

Thanks, that is really helpful, I have two phones and have been able to reply
to a message now which is a bonus.
I still can't delete them, in a message list, to the far left, I managed to get
to a point where it says delete and then the message details, I double clicked
that but the message didn't seem to go and it just said delete after that.
The most frustrating thing is that I can't seem to edit what I have typed in to
a message.
When you say sswipe to the left or right, just one finger on the screen and
slide it to the left or right a few millimetres?

No, to reply to a message, just double tap to open up the thread and you'll
have a edit field near the bottom of the screen. Double tap in the edit field
to activate it, type your message and double tap the send button above and to
the right of the virtual keyboard. It looks kind of like an instant messaging
screen where you have all of your messages back and forth going down the screen
with a place to type your message at the bottom.
I'm not sure if you're aware of this yet or not, but you can move between
objects on your screen by flicking left and right. You don't always have to
explore the screen by moving your finger around. Also, once you hear VoiceOver
read an object, you can activate it by just double tapping anywhere on the
screen. You don't have to double tap the object itself.

I am guessing that reply may be in the edit option now to answer my
previous question.

To delete messages choose the edit option and then you can select the
message you want to delete then choose the delete button.

Hello friends,
Can anyone give me a quick over view of how text messaging works?
I click to open messages and it seems to list them on the screen.
I am assuming that I scan around on the screen to see hwat messages
are there and then double tap to open them?
Hsow do I delete a message, there doesn't seem to be a delete button
on the screen anywhere.
