How to delete presidential alert from text message list?

[Android Central Question]

I received two presidential alerts the other day. One listed an expiration date and one did not. Both are appearing in my text message list with no way to delete them that I can see. The one with an expiration date is appearing below more recent messages, but the one without an expiration date has been appearing at the top of the list for the last two days even though I have more recent messages.

I am on a Galaxy S8 with Android version 8.0.0 and my provider is Sprint.

I'm on an S8+ and I was able to delete the alert. I use Textra as my SMS app.

Hold down the text in your history until the delete word shows up, and boom! It's gone!
