How do I see the text bubble from a sender in iMessage?

IMessaging help

My daughter has found a way to hide the text bubble from a sender. I can still see her texts, but not the other parties. Please help me figure out what she did so I can see both parties replies?

Hmm, is she simply not just deleting the other persons responses?

Yeah, there's no way to hide a text in iMessage. She's probably deleting them as she goes. Maybe some of hers as well. If she turned iMessage off, she could forward the message to her email address. Then delete it. But I think she's just deleting them.

Not at all.

The OP, as a parent, should not be looking through her texts. If he suspect something,he should be asking his daughter himself instead of sneaking around.
Geez, people thinking that they need to be looking at others mail.

Well, well, this could turn into a heated parent\child\trust debate.

Go...

We're not here to judge. We're here to help with how things are done on iOS devices. If it's illegal, then it gets nipped in the bud.

The simple answer is that she is deleting them. I've been through this with my daughter when she was younger. As my child she was subject to me seeing what she is doing on her iPod or iPhone. She was talking to someone she shouldn't have been and tried to hide it. She lost the phone. When she got it back we seemed to have a better understanding. No issues sense then. Just sharing as a fellow parent. Good luck.

Re: IMessaging help

Agreed. My kids know that I can look at their phone or iPad anytime I want. I don't exercise this right regularly, but I wouldn't hesitate if I needed to. They also know that changing the passcode so I don't know it is grounds for having the device taken away.

Exactly this old privacy thing is crazy privacy doesn't exist in my house I wish they would
