Hey,

Quick question, I would like to know how to find out the number of messages in a text conversation with someone. I haven't found anything online except for a site that asks me to download a shady app.. When I was young, which was a while ago. On our phones that were like bricks back then, I’m sure it was already possible and I used to enjoy checking who I was messaging the most... So why can't I do it with a phone that can control my house? ????

Thank you for your answers!

Oh and I'm on an S22 if that helps

Hello

Open the SMS

Click on the 3 dots at the top right

Select delete messages

Click at the top left on Select messages


It will display the number of selected messages in the message

Then you cancel the operation by going back (do not confirm, you don't want to delete them)

I only see this solution.

Have a nice Sunday

Hello,
She says > I would like to know how to find out the number of messages in an SMS conversation

What you suggest to her is to display the number of SMS messages in her Messaging app

I used to like this feature on my old Sony Ericsson (sliding up) ^^.
Currently with my J5 (2017), this feature is not available (unless it's well hidden).

The only way (for now that I know) is when backing up your data.
You can choose which ones; but at the end of the backup, it shows the number of msg(sms) next to it.


To identify how many with a single contact, you would need to delete all the others and leave only this one.

@Edit: out of 74 conversations selected in sms > (1745 msg)

Thank you for your somewhat... inappropriate response.

Maybe I need this information for a specific reason and not out of mere curiosity.

Hello,

Surely the technology of the S22 is not designed for a teenager but for an adult for whom this function is not very useful.
One must evolve with the times.

Sincerely,

The trick of deletion was good, but in the end, he asks me to delete the entire conversation... ????

All the better if it worked, on my J5; it doesn’t display anything when you want to delete; you have to go through the backup to know the total number of texts.

Bye

PS: forget it, no need to delete as TotoLeHeros said; just go back
