Can you no longer forward multiple messages in iOS 7?

Yeah you can. Hold your finger down on one message and select 'more' this then gives you the same options as before

 

Long press a message. You get a "more" option that let's you edit. It's a much cleaner interface this way.

Long press on a message and choose more. It will give you the option to select multiple messages.

Edit: others beat me to it

 

I don't find the practicality of it too cumbersome, but I have a conceptual problem with it that unsettles my inner perfectionist

I don't think an option on an individual message should open up conversation-wide options.

 

May be "cleaner" but not very intuitive. One would have to just stumble across this by mistake to know. Good example of how iOS 7 has missed the mark in some areas of usability.

 

Just slightly.

 

That's a question that applies to at least a few if not quite a few things in iOS 7...and one that only someone at Apple could potentially answer (assuming they even really have even a half-meaningful answer for that to begin with).

 

Well maybe not necessarily "harder" if you only know you CAN do it that way. It is harder to figure out hidden features though rather than a clear option as it always has been in the past.

 

Well, you probably have a fairly good idea of what iOS 7 is like at this point based on many threads, articles, and trials at the Apple store and the like (based on your posts), so you can see if its worth it for you or not. Something like this is rather small to cause someone not to update just on its own, but it all depends on you in the end.

 

Yes. Very much so if the message contains an HTTP link or address. A long thread here.

iOS 7: 1
Usability: 0

 

I don't know if I would say most or even a majority necessarily, but there is definitely more than just a small group it would seem.

 

Sorry, a poor attempt at humor. This is another example of the usability that's missing from iOS 7 that existed before. Score 1 for iOS 7 and zero for usability.

 

Anyone think some people will spend more time complaining about it being slightly more difficult to forward on multiple messages than they will actually ever spend forwarding on multiple messages? lol

 

In specific cases like this one, yes. In general, not really, because really the bigger issue is that people simply wouldn't even realize the option exists (sometimes when even looking for it), which is certainly far from a good thing.

 

What do you mean exactly?
