My iMessages are not updating across my devices. I've deleted some messages on my iPhone but they are still there on my iPad and iMac. I've switched off iCloud messages on the iPad and iPhone and then switched it back on but still no use.
Many thanks.

Hello doug from stratford upon avon.
Welcome to Apple Support Communities. I understand that your messages are not syncing across all devices although you have enabled messages in iCloud. You have deleted some messages from your iPhone, but they still appear on your iPad and iMac. You have turned off messages in iCloud and turned them back on with no issue resolution. I’m happy to help.
Please restart all of your devices. Once they have all fully restarted, do the messages sync across all of your devices? If not, please make sure you have completed the steps in the section titled “Before you begin” here: Keep all your messages in iCloud - Apple Support
Take care.

Hello doug from stratford upon avon,
Let’s go ahead and restart your iPhone using the steps here: Restart your iPhone - Apple Support
Use the steps here to restart your iPad: Restart your iPad - Apple Support
Let’s also restart your iMac.
After fully restarting all devices, are the photos in your iMessages loading? Are any of these messages MMS messages?
If you still need help, please contact Apple Support here: Get Support
Cheers.
Hello Chris
Many thanks for your response. I have followed the steps and everything now appears to be working correctly. I seem to have had many silly issues like this after the recent software updates.
Kind regards
Doug
Hi
Thanks for coming back to me. I've tried all that and images don't synch. Bizarrely through, I did see an article on Twitter by MacWorld (or something similar) saying that images don't synch across devices so It could be that everything is working ok and as it should.....
Regards
Doug
Welcome back doug from stratford upon avon,
I’m glad to hear that it’s working as expected.
Cheers.
Hello again
Further to my last response, it would appear that messages are updating and synching across all devices, but no images sent in messages. If this correct?
Many thanks again
Doug
