First: Quickly find a specific message thread by swiping down on the Messages app’s main screen. No need to scroll like a mad person. Second: Hide alerts for group chats that have gone rogue (like the “Family Vacation 2026” thread that still sends memes). Simply swipe left on the conversation and tap the bell icon.
Lastly, check your Screen Time under Settings. It shows you how many hours you’ve wasted on texts—a humbling number that pairs well with a glass of wine.
