About SMS & MMS Search and Delete
A fast and convenient app for search and cleanup SMS and MMS messages. Works on all versions of Android starting from Gingerbread (2.3), including KitKat (4.4), Marshmallow (6.0) and above.
Can handle tens of thousands of messages. Deletes thousand of messages in 5 minutes (depends on the total number of messages).
You can use the app to quickly search and delete old, unnecessary or spam SMS and MMS messages.
Starting from Android 4.4, message removal can only be performed by the application registered in the system as the main SMS sending app. Therefore, the system will ask you to temporarily make 'SMS Search and Delete' the default app for sending SMS messages prior to proceeding with message removal. Please respond affirmatively. After we finish removing SMS messages, we will reset the settings to their default values.
All features of the app is available for free. In-app purchase to disable ads.
Possible problems and remedies for them:
1. If you have accumulated a large number of text messages, Android may not be able to handle deleting them. If the application hangs up or terminates with an error while deleting the messages, you may have to do a full deletion of all SMS text messages. To do this, use the menu option "Delete All SMS"
2. If after deleting the text messages they are still displayed in your SMS application, it may be necessary to reload the messages:
• For Textra, choose the menu option Settings -> About -> Resync Textra
• For Mood Messenger, choose the menu option Settings -> Advanced -> Resync Mood with system sms/mms database
• Handcent NextSMS uses its own database to store SMS text messages. The only way to synchronize the deleted text messages is to reinstall Handcent Next SMS (completely remove the application and reinstall it)
• For other apps try to execute "Reload Sms Application" command from "Troubleshooting" menu.
3. If none of the methods listed help, please report the problem to us and indicate the name of the SMS application you use.

Very cool and functional app. I do a lot of business texting. This app does a sweet backup to multiple destinations. I backed up all my SMS/MMS to Dropbox then deleted old using from-to dates, keeping 2 months. Before deleting I used the View function to verify backup. Very nice app.

At first it wouldn't load any text messages to delete, but the next day it worked flawlessly (not sure why this happened). I was able to delete old messages by conversation, and by date range. The only problem I ran in to is that Messenger didn't have any sort of sync function. For anyone else with this issue, all you have to do is uninstall the SMS app you use and reinstall it.

I didn't want to have to add an entirely new message app to do the kind of cleanup my phone's built-in app was missing (and that my phone cleaner app somehow wasn't able to touch). This offers a variety of search options to allow me to remove a legacy of text messages as old as my phone but still keep those that matter. Excellent and effective.

It was really great! Deleted over 800 messages from one contact extremely easily. However, I do wish there was also an option to delete the messages that I sent. I still have to go through the default SMS app and delete my 800 replies one at a time. But it still cut the work in half!

Says it can delete tens of thousands. It can't. It crashes in the process like every other app. The difference us it crashes so badly the phone bricks with a black screen for 2 minutes then reboots.

Awesome app to clean up texts. I like to be able to delete messages that are old while keeping newer messages with that person. This does it.

Very helpful, I had over 7000 texts in a conversation with a contact and it was taking up space, it took a while but was definitely worth it

Only app I could find that let's you select multiple texts to delete but also let's you uncheck ones you don't want to delete. Works great!

I just wish there was an SMS app with this kind of functionality in it. However.... This app is a life saver!
