How do you quickly scroll through a text message thread?

[AC Question]

I have an s6 and I'd like to scroll to a specific date in a text message thread. First, is there a fast way to scroll back 4 or 5 months, second, can I scroll to a specific date, and third, the date stamps disappear after you go backwards awhile. How can you tell what day you're on? Help!

Unfortunately there is not "Quick Scroll Bar" in the stock messaging app.

You can long press a message and view message details which will give you the full time stamp info.

You can use the search button in the messaging app if you know what you are looking for. Don't think it will work with using a date tho.

If those things you are important to you, I'd recommend looking at some third-party messaging apps. There is a very wide variety available on the Google Play Store.
