Microsoft introduced Threaded SMS [or chat style] in version 6.1 of Windows Mobile Professional and Standard Devices.
So What’s The Difference?
Threaded SMS Off, this is the *old* way WM used to handle messages. Each message from the sender appears on your inbox. If you’ve added a photo to the contact it will be displayed as well.

Threaded SMS On, this was introduced in WM6.1 messages received and sent to are contact a grouped together. It makes following conversations easier. This is the OS default.
Threaded SMS is great if you want to keep track of your SMS correspondence with a contact. However some people don’t like or require this. Here’s a quick and easy way to toggle between threaded and regular SMS.
Method 1: Notepad (PC)
Notepad
Fire up your notepad
Copy the code and paste to your note
Save and change from .txt to .reg
Copy to your device
Tap to make the changes work.
Turn Off Threaded SMS:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\OEM]
"SMSInboxThreadingDisabled"=dword:00000001
Turn On Threaded SMS (OS Default):
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\OEM]
"SMSInboxThreadingDisabled"=dword:00000000
Method 2: Registry Editor (On Device)
Fire up your Registry Editor
Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\OEM
Look for [or create]: SMSInboxThreadingDisabled
Edit the Value as needed: 0 = On / 1 = Off
I’ve also noticed that it is easier to search for individual messages and see the time stamps when threaded SMS off. If threaded SMS is on you only see the time stamp of the messages within the day, past messages will only have the date.
I hope you’ve found this tip useful.
