hello samsung community.

 

is there a way to delete multiple attachments ("Share Content") within a text correspondence??  I have attached photos for reference.

 

It appears the "long hold" will only allow you to Save multiple attachments.  I'm trying to remove them altogether.

these are photos, gifs, etc.these are photos, gifs, etc.why can't we delete these??why can't we delete these??

Hi tony_menchaca, Thanks for sharing the screenshots.

As of now, we can only delete them one at a time.

The BEST way I've found, is to install an app called Textra, It's an alternative to the regular messaging, but it allows you to select whatever attachments you want to. You don't have to set it as your default messaging app. But in the event it asks you to save it as the default messaging app, just switch back when you're done.

In case you don't know how, you just open up the messaging app and it will ask you if you want to use it as your default. 

Samsung wasn't always this difficult to use. It's obviously been a problem for at least two years now.

I have yet to figure how to delete the attachments on text messaging. I've tried everywhere and it hasn't worked I will have to say that this phone is very hard to work in all angles. You can't change the color of your text or your clock you have to have display on it all the time to change the colors of that. I really hope that they can fix the problem because I don't care to have all back pictures still on the account of my messaging
