Default Quick question about SMS threading for you guys...

Please Login to Remove!

So a friend of mine has a Tour... and he had a huge SMS thread with one of his contacts. Yesterday, he sent a brand new SMS to that contact (outside of the existing thread) and now his previous SMS thread with that contact is nowhere to be found.

Is that old SMS thread now gone because he started a new one? Or is that old thread simply in a folder somewhere or "hidden"?

He has some important info in that old thread that he'd like to access... so any suggestions would be super helpful. Thanks guys!

No problem... thanks anyway!

I hope someone who knows for sure comes along soon. He'd like to avoid this happening in the future.

Well you can only have one thead per person going at once. So if he already had one going on with someone and went to create a new message for that same person it would automatically bring up the old thread for him to continue chatting. It's not even possible to hide sms or move them to a saved folder. He may have just accidentally cleared it.

Yeah I am thinking he cleared it, because on mine if I go to start a new conversation it still jumps me right back into my old one with that person. As long as its still on the message list. Just double checked it and it didn't clear out old convo.

Does he have it set to auto delete after a certain time period? Might want to take that off if he plans on keeping messages with important info.

Did he do a backup sometime after receiving the important text?? If so he can just do a restore.

He swears he didn't clear the conversation. He said he simply started a new conversation... and the old one disappeared. Weird.

It was set to delete after 30 days... (which he quickly changed). But the missing conversation was the only one gone... out of all of them.

The other person replied to his "new" text... and the new conversation started. Old one disappeared.
