Probably not a point worth mentioning, but I think this is a feature for
the messaging app and not the operating system. I know Apple bundles
them together and doesn't update the messaging app separately from the
operating system, but I'd be surprised if they weren't different teams
inside Apple.

Hi. Yes, one would have thought that the ability to move and safely store
important messages would have been a basic feature. After all, folk are using
their phones for all sorts of things such as on line shopping and of course one
gets confirmation messages such as I do with my mobile provider and these
messages are important legally so it would stand to reason that they should be
kept in a safe part of the phone for future use and retrieval. I'm new to
iPhones but I think this a backward step. To balance things though, I can do
more with the smart phone than I could with my old nokia so; swings and
round-abouts. Walter.

Hello Walter,
Ah! Your question really takes me back to the old Windows Mobile 5.x days.
The simple answer to your question is that you cannot unthread text messages in
the native iOS app. Furthermore, you cannot move individual messages into what
we old-timers would think of as a native iOS text message folder.
I know, I know. You would think that an operating system, sophisticated
enough to give us on-the-fly turn-by-turn directions from almost anywhere on
the planet, would allow for such basic functionality but, as yet, it does not;
at least, not natively.

Subject: Saving and archiving text messages
Hi All. I have a few text messages I would like to archive and save. As it stands each time I get a text message from a particular company it is added to a conversation, or should I say other text messages from that same source. For example; I'm with Vodafone and have a number of text messages from them but each time a new message from them comes in, it is added to a long list of other text messages I got from them, I open the message and the oldest is at the top and I have to go all the way down to find the latest. How can I change that that each message is shown in it's own right. Once I've accomplished that then I would like to archive and save some important messages. Some messages are just promotional messages that I would delete but if I delete one, it would seem I delete the lot. So 1. Howe do I stop messages being grouped in this fashion and are displayed in their own right. 2. how do I archive a particular message and save it, and to where can I save it? With my
old Nokia there was an option to send the message to a particular folder that I
was able to create but I don't know if that is possible with the iPhone, the
iPhone 6 is what I have. I would like to archive and save in a safe location
some important text messages but I need your help to know how to do this. With
thanks. Walter.
