If you're like me you're always ending up with texts on your iPhone that you don't quite feel like responding too, but don't want to forget about. Like this one: However if you open the app to send another text, the message app automatically reads that text you wanted to ignore. My solution is a webapp for your homescreen that opens a new text message without going through the app directly so that your other texts stay unread and you can continue ignoring those people, until you feel like getting back to them. (It also works well if you've enabled read receipts for iMessage) You can also use the webapp from the multitasking menu for even more convenience.
