This is not a problem I am having; just a curious question. When I recieve an iMessage text (using OS Big Sur), it appears on my Mac computer as well as on my iPhone. If I delete a text (i.e. conversation) on my Mac, that same text will still remain on my iPhone although the pop-up indicates that deleting the text will occur across all devices. Could someone please explain this? Thank you so much.
MacBook Air (2020 or later)
Thank you for the response. If indeed the computer is "enabled" in Messages, does that imply that if I delete a conversation on my iPhone that same conversation will be deleted on the computer as well?
Do you have Messages in iCloud enabled? That is required for everything to be in sync.
One the iPhone >> Settings >> Messages and inside that " Text Messages Forwarding " and check if the computer is listed and Enabled with Green
That makes sense, Barney. Thank you.
Yes , provided the conditions as per @Barney15E instruction are enable Yes again. They will synce one to the other
Thank you so much.
