I text a lot people and sometimes I just simply click the "New Message" button on the bottom right and type the name instead of searching for the friend. When I click the name, the area where the conversation are suppose to be are blank. And you don't see the previous messages until you send a message. I would like it so if you have a previous conversation with a friend, it'll load the conversation when you make a new message and click on the friend. Just so that you know what you were talking about previously.
