# One-tap to expand transcriptions

Messages can be long. Rather than tapping **show more** on each one, you can expand
every transcript in a conversation at once.

- **Expand everything.** Tap the **summarize icon** at the top right of the conversation
  and choose **AI + Message** to reveal the full transcription of every message card
  alongside its summary.
- **Collapse it again.** Choose **AI Only** for summaries alone, or pick the same option a
  second time to turn the summaries off entirely, so you control how much text is on
  screen.

This is most useful for lengthier discussions when you would rather read than listen.
