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 those details. We recommend checking your Mac settings with the information under "If you can't delete messages on your Mac" found here: How to delete messages in iCloud
Thanks
They are text as they are being sent to multiple numbers. The interesting thing is I can’t seem to determine the origin of the message in order to block it either. I get 10-20 of these a day.
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
