Delete individual text messages

This isn't really a support question per se but I didn't see where to possibly post for a free request in your number Barn texting app might go. I have purchased three numbers through your service to I ported over to carriers and they were amazingly perfect. I picked up a third number and I'm using it just as a texting number and using your app I don't need a lot of features but I was wondering if there was any way that there was a couple of things might be added in the future 1. When a text come in it says the day that the text was made but it doesn't give the date. Example is I got a text on Monday but if I keep that text a few weeks down the road I won't know the date of the original text and that's a feature that is very important on my end. Not sure if that's possible but the date would be fantastic 2. The second feature if possible is I know you can delete a whole text thread everything from one person. Most texting apps allow you to highlight one texting "bubble" or whatever they're called and you can delete just one thing. I keep all my texts from customers but nonsense back and forth texts are not important so I try to delete those out of the thread but not the whole thread itself. Everything else so far seems great don't need really any other features on my end I use it simply for texting back and forth with customers but the two above things would be very well received I believe. Thank you thank you Rob

  Hi Rob Brody, thank you for taking the time to post this! I'll respond to both issues you've posed here.

  First, regarding the dates and times of conversations, for any messages that are less than a week old in the app, you should just see the date of the week and time that the message was sent/received. But once you surpass a week you should see the calendar date appear. That said, I'm looking at older messages in my personal account and realize we should also include the year.
  
  Second, regarding deleting individual messages -- you're correct that we can only delete the thread and it would be good to be able to delete individual messages as well. We'll make a note of this for our product team.

  You're very welcome! I just realized that we do display the year once the messages are more than a year old. At that point, the date moves to a MM/DD/YYYY format.

  Please do put the actual date on anything that is older than 1 day old! This messed me up recently in the app.

  Hey LifeP, we'll definitely keep this in mind. Currently, the date appears after 7 days which is in line with what iMessage (Apple) does. Until that point you see the weekday name with the time the message was sent/received.
