[Squilly]

Is there a tweak to mass delete iMessages? I hate having to go through individual ones to delete them.... thanks.

Are you talking about deleting all iMessages (threads) at once or deleting multiple messages within a thread?

Deleting some threads.

Deleting some threads.

If you are comfortable with SQL, you can execute SQL commands using iFile. DB is in /var/mobile/Library/SMS.

No idea.

Has any one found a delete all tweak for imessages? It is really annoying that you have to delete one by one.

If you want to delete everything then just delete the database I mentioned earlier.

I don't know SQL. :/

You don't have to...just delete the files.

This brings me to my next question. Anyway to make a shortcut on the springboard to a specific folder in ifile?

And mine: where is iFile?

iFile is from cydia

Oh. I'm there now. Is it SMS.db by chance?

Deleting SMS.db will delete ALL threads. After you delete SMS.db, reboot your phone

So how can I delete some threads but not everything? If I open SMS.db, it gives me a form of a PDF that can't be edited.

You would need to edit the database.

I don't quite understand what's the problem here. You can delete an entire thread at once. Is that something hard to accomplish?
