how can i view an entire text

[AC Question]

within the past month or so....since the nougat update, plus other usual updates, when viewing texts on my galaxy s7 edge.....if the text is longer than, say 8 lines, i have to click on an arrow to view the rest of the text. Its not that big a deal until replying, when only the first few lines are visible.
I would like to go back to how it used to be where if someone sent me a 10 line text, i could see all 10 lines without having to click an arrow to see the entire thing.

Based on all the complaints here about this "feature" of the Android 7 Messenger app, it would seem that if the public ever finds out which developer added this "feature" then he is a dead man.

From the perspective of someone still on Android 6, it seems that your only two options are to wait for an update or pick a different SMS app.
