Feeling overwhelmed by a cluttered inbox full of old text messages? Don't worry, you're not alone! This quick guide will show you how to delete text messages on most smartphones, helping you reclaim storage space and boost your phone's performance.
**For iPhones:** Simply open the Messages app, find the conversation you want to clean up, and either swipe left on a specific message to delete it or tap and hold to access more options, including deleting the entire thread.
**For Android Phones:** The process is similar. Open your messaging app, locate the conversation, and either long-press the thread to select and delete, or open the thread and use the delete icon (often a trash can) to remove individual messages or the entire conversation.
**Pro Tip:** Before deleting, consider backing up important messages! Many cloud storage services offer text message backup options. Clearing out unnecessary texts is a simple way to improve your phone's efficiency and reduce digital clutter.
