Messaging
Your SMS (text message) and MMS (multimedia messaging service) are combined into one menu in Messages.
Message Box
Instead of an inbox and outbox, your phone organizes all messages you sent and received into one box, where messages exchanged with the same number are grouped into one message thread in the messages screen. You can tap a thread to see the conversation you have had with someone.
Message threads are sorted in chronological order with the latest one on top.
