Can you bulk delete text messages?

Is there a way to bulk delete text messages?

In the old windows app, you could select multiple threads and delete them all at once. Now you have to go through and delete one by one. I send/receive hundreds of texts per day so it takes a lot of time to clean out my inbox.

Hi @Kelly Enser, in the new RingCentral App, there is no option to delete bulk SMS. Please submit a feature request here.

Thanks! I just voted for the numerous requests for this in the Feature request.

In the meantime, has anyone figured out a work around? Maybe something like zapier?

You may ask your client to log in on the online portal instead. The option to delete multiple voicemails is available there. Here's a KB article on how to check voicemails in the online account. https://support.ringcentral.com/article/Checking-voicemail-Online-Account.html

The online portal only seems to have the option for voicemails, not texts.

That's right. SMS is only available in the app.

More than 2 years later and still no solution. I guess user requests are secondary to the "roadmap".

Nothing that is built in. However, you can use the Message Store APIs to delete messages or conversations. I know it may not be what you are looking for, but wanted to provide the solution we do have available today - https://developers.ringcentral.com/api-reference/Message-Store/deleteMessage
