iPhone complaint number 1001

For work I get hundreds of text messages from our monitoring system. The system sends alerts via SMS. This seems fine doesn't it? Well guess what happens to your iPhone when you have too many (200+) text messages? The entire phone slows down to a halt becoming completely unresponsive to buttons so sending text messages becomes nearly impossible. Your phone is essentially self-bricked. Be careful system administrators! Make sure to clear out your text message conversations.




Oh also a pet-peeve: there is no way to bulk delete text message conversations on the iPhone. You have to delete each conversation individually! This is ridiculous especially when I have 300+ conversations to delete like I did.

If you're wondering, yes, I still love my iPhone even with its faults. Otherwise I wouldn't care about people fixing its problems.

  1. That is incredibly annoying. The Google phone seems to be able to handle a number of conversations larger than that without crashing, but it doesn't seem to be able to delete multiples at the same time either. How about a check box just like your email that lets you delete them all simultaneously? You often wonder if they product tested, it's not rocket science! :)

  2. I've just got a fresh set of 500 text messages to delete. Can't wait to waste my time tomorrow!
