Messages not deleting on other devices

I have iMessage on my iPhone, iPad and two different Macs all logged into the same Apple ID with iCloud sync enabled. I have been getting a ridiculous amount of Spam text messages that when I delete them from on device they remain on all the other essentially quadrupling the work it takes to delete them. It appears though that if it's just a general message that I am having with someone it will sync the delete.


Any ideas what's going on?

iPhone 7, iOS 15

Neither of these worked for me and I am having the 100% same issue as Erikbock. Any other ideas? Like he said its basically any unknown SPAM texter that its not sync deleting on all four of my devices.

Hi erikbock,


Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. We understand you are seeing an issue with messages not deleting off all your devices as expected. We want to help.


Are you seeing this behavior when these spam messages are coming in as texts only? Or does this happen with iMessage as well?


We look forward to hearing back from you.


Thanks
