I have a ton of conversations that I don't want - verification codes texted to me, notifications from websites. How can I get rid of them?
Note that my phone is not a G21. It's an a52 but I'm hoping the answer is the same.

Open messages. From main menu (not inside any texts, just the list) press and hold first one until it selects with a small dot on the left. You will see empty dots next to all the others. Go through the list and click the dots you wish to delete. when all are selected, click on delete and confirm. THEN...in the three dot menu on top right, go in there and select trash.... Go into trash and top right again, select empty trash.

Done.

Ok go to the message app DO NOT OPEN THE MESSAGES and then press and hold each message you don't want and you should be able to bulk delete

You can't delete them individually? It's better that way so you verify what's junk from what's valuable
