Sometimes my conversations get long and unwieldy over time, but being so sentimental I'd like to keep them around on my devices (and not just leave them in iTunes backups that I might not be able to access again later).
In the Messages app, can I start a new conversation with a person under the same number or Apple ID, while preserving our previous conversation on my iOS device? Or if not, is there a feasible workaround (somehow involving switching numbers in the person's contact card or something)?

The only way to start a new conversation, or thread, is if the recipient has a different email address. For example, multiple emails can be stored under one contact, but messages sent to and from different emails are stored in a new thread.
