entire message history with someone regardless of the different methods

conversations). You can even switch from account to account without losing
the thread of your conversation (see Switch between messaging accounts in
a conversation)—just pick the messaging account that’s most likely to keep
you in unbroken contact with the person you’re talking to.

multimedia, and IM messages. When you start or continue a conversation,

message and tap Remove From Calendar to delete the meeting from your
calendar.
