Hello,

On an iPhone if you want to delete specific messages from a converstation thread, you have to scroll and it keeps loading messages, then you have to select the messages and delete them. It's very time consuming. Is there an alternative way to do this from a computer or edit the actual database file? Potentially, could I backup my phone through iTunes, somehow access the message db, delete all the text messages I want, save it, then restore the iCloud backup to my phone.

Thanks,
