Messages not syncing on IPhone and IPads
I have a mini 13 IPhone and two IPads. They are all updated with software. I want to delete messages once and have them deleted across devices. That is not happening. Please advise.
iPhone 13 mini, iOS 16

If you have an iPhone - and both iPad and iPhone are signed-in to iCloud with the same AppleID - to send SMS/MMS messages (green bubbles) from your iPad you must explicitly enable Text Message Forwarding for your iPad on your iPhone...
On your iPhone:
Settings > Messages > Text Message Forwarding - set to ON - and explicitly enable your iPad from the list of devices.
Also ensure that Messages in iCloud is enabled on both your iPhone and iPad - as this is responsible for keeping messages on your devices in-sync:
Settings > [Your Name / AppleID] > Messages - set to ON
