[iMore Question]

I have iPad air & cannot delete messages. After I click on "more" the trash bin does not appear even tho the circles have been checked. Help please!

Try rebooting your device to see if that solves the issue. Hold the power & home buttons at the same time until the apple logo appears

The trash can disappearing at times has been an issue since several iOS updates ago.
I encounter this sometimes when trying to delete a specific message within a conversation.
I just close it from the multi task bar at the bottom & reopen the app again.

Good Luck

Sometimes I just take hold of the keyboard and slam it down. The bar at the bottom that hides the trash can and the forward arrow is part of the keyboard. But swiping the messages app out of the multitasking tray works.
