One of the tiny but annoying functions I have noticed is that the thread deletes every time a confirmation message pops up each time. Apple added this confirmation window to prevent an accidently deleted messages thread. But on the other side, millions of guys feel the request is an obnoxious & unnecessary function.

  2. Thank you. That was helpful I’ve sent a change request to Apple asking that this “enhancement” be removed or at least made optional.

  3. The engineers at Apple are somewhere between genius simplicity and overbearing know-it-alls. In this case, they are on the overbearing end. If I want to delete a message, I generally do them one at a time. And I DO NOT want to have to re-confirm my decision the next 50,000 times I delete a text message.
