Deleting messages doesn't have delete option

[Anonymous]

Very often if I click to delete messages I am able to select them but then the bin icon isn't present.
Anyone else have this problem.
By 'often' I mean this happens once every 4/5 times of trying.

Which messaging app are you using?

I know that with Hangouts you can delete a whole thread, but if you try to delete more than one whole conversation or 'thread' at a time it doesn't let you.

If you are using an Apple device (just noticed this is in the Apple section) - I don't have a clue! Sorry!

Hi

If you are using an Apple device I found this article which is about deleting text messages or whole conversations

Try a reset by holding the home and power keys until the apple logo appears as this clears most glitches with the software.
