I believe this is the only thing stopping me from using textra.

This is very much needed these days with Avid texters you could easily have a couple thousand text per contact very quickly.

i have 2059 and is make the app going slow

J'ai vraiment besoin de cette option car j'écris énormément de sms !!!

make this your next update, it's crucial to have this feature on a SMS app.

Yes, I thought textra used to have this option?

It's an important thing in a SMS application, please add this on textra !

I believe this is the only feature that the stock messaging app has that Textra needs. I thought this kind of feature was very basic and only just now realized that a few of my conversations had thousands of messages in them, one nearly 8 thousand. That's just too much! And I don't want to have to manually delete the part of the conversations that is currently going on in order to get rid of the rest.

textra use to have this feature. now it's gone?

An option to set a limit of how many sms and mms messages were kept would be great! Can't be hard to incorporate surely?

I had over 3000 messages from some contacts which caused every messaging app to slow down. Please implement!

I would love this. so I don't have to delete whole conversations. just old messages.

i need it, please do it !

can an option be added to delete old messages by date and time received? I have tons of messages more that 3 months old that I have to manually get rid of. I've had texting apps in the past that would automatically do this for me daily freeing up space and improving performance

The default messaging app lets you set a max limit for number of texts in a conversation and automatically deletes texts that exceed that (e.g. delete the oldest text when you're conversation hits text message 201).
