Text msgs are not deleting across devices when deleted on one device
I have upated/power cycled, etc but this problem remains. When I delete a text on my iMac, it does NOT delete it on any of my other devices. Same thing happens in reverse as well.

Have you set up iCloud Syncing on all of your devices?

All your devices will get the same iMessages if they are signed into your Apple ID. But turning on iCloud Syncing is what keeps the changes you make (editing, deleting, etc) after you receive them coordinated.
Glad it helped!
Note that if you want to get your SMS (green) messages on all of your devices, see these instructions:
Forward SMS/MMS text messages from your iPhone to your Mac or iPad - Apple Support
If you've already done that, great!
Thanks, it was not turned on for my phone although msgs have been syncing just fine, just not any edits or deletes. When I turned it on, I got a msg that says "Sync paused, plug in device and connect to wifi"...I am connected to wifi already and my phone is at 100%
So which version does the recipient see if someone does NOT have iCloud syncing turned on? If I am texting on my Mac and I edit or delete the text, then I go into my living room and pick up my phone to continue the conversation, does the recipient see the edited version that I did on my Mac or do they see the unedited version that is on my iPhone?
They see what you sent. If you sent the edited version, they will see the edited version. What your recipient sees is unaffected by any settings you may have for syncing across devices. It's just like if you delete a message on any device, it doesn't delete it on the recipient's device.
Ahhhh, I did not know that, thanks again for your help!
