Luckily, it\u2019s easy to mark every one of your unread messages as read in the blink of an eye, but the feature is a bit hidden. Here\u2019s how to do it.<\/p>\n<p>First, open \u201cMessages.\u201d On an iPhone, look in the upper-right corner of the screen and tap the ellipses button, which looks like three dots in a circle. (The iPad button is slightly different, as you\u2019ll see below.)<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-698284\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/xtap_ellipses_button.jpg.pagespeed.gp+jp+jw+pj+ws+js+rj+rp+rw+ri+cp+md.ic.b9DNHqDBG1.jpg\" alt=\"In Messages on iPhone, tap the ellipses button (three dots in a circle).\" width=\"650\" height=\"465\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>On an iPad, tap \u201cEdit\u201d in the upper-left corner of the screen.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-698281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/xipad_tap_edit.jpg.pagespeed.gp+jp+jw+pj+ws+js+rj+rp+rw+ri+cp+md.ic.MTvGMH1DcQ.jpg\" alt=\"In Messages on iPad, tap &quot;Edit.&quot;\" width=\"650\" height=\"453\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>In the menu that pops up, tap \u201cSelect Messages.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-698283\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/xtap_select_messages.jpg.pagespeed.gp+jp+jw+pj+ws+js+rj+rp+rw+ri+cp+md.ic.J6HFQDqpBf.jpg\" alt=\"In Messages on iPhone or iPad, tap &quot;Select Messages&quot;\" width=\"650\" height=\"330\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Messages will now enter \u201cEdit\u201d mode.
