Managing message conversations
Text and multimedia messages that are sent to and received from a contact (or a number)
are grouped into conversations or message threads in the All messages screen. Threaded
text or multimedia messages let you see exchanged messages (similar to a chat program)
with a contact on the screen.
Reading a text message
Do one of the following:
On the All messages screen, tap the text message or message thread to open and read it.
If you have a new message notification, press and hold the status bar, and then slide the
status bar down to open the Notifications panel. Tap the new message to open and read
it.
To return to the All messages screen from a text message thread, press MENU and then tap
All messages .
To view the details of a particular message, in the message thread, press and hold the message to
open the options menu, and then tap
View message details .
If a message contains a link to a web page, tap the message and then tap the link to open it in the
web browser.
If a message contains a phone number, tap the message and then tap the phone number to dial the
number or add it to your contacts.
