Updated my iPhone 13 Pro to iOS 16.0.2 this morning. Since then, I am unable to delete iMessage conversations. Swiping Delete just makes it reappear. Non-iMessages will delete normally but iMessages won't.
Have tried shutting the iPhone off and turning it back on and also tried Reset| Reset Network Settings which did not help. I can delete iMessages on my other Apple devices. Is this a bug on iOS 16.0.2?

I've had this issue as well and seemed to have figured a work around.
In messages got to Edit>Show Recently Deleted. Find the person you want to delete, select them and hit "delete". Go back to your Messages and you should be able to delete now.
It worked for me, so I hope it works for you. The Apple Support person said they know about issue and working on it for next update/patch.
I’ve been on the phone with tech support and they are aware it’s a issue with the new update and they are working on a fix for it
Thanks, rock star!
