Messages indicator Apple Watch

My Apple Watch continues to show unread messages when there are none. I understand these are spam messages but the only way to clear them from my watch seems to be ask Siri to read unread messages.


Outside of having to listen to these messages I'm concerned about security of having spam messages opened. I can not find any way to clear spam from the Messages app.

Apple Watch Series 9, watchOS 11

What happens if you delete the Spam messages from your iPhone?

If you have set up Messges on your watch to mirror your iPhone, they should be removed after they have been deleted from the iPhone.


You can also delete the conversion without reading the message by swiping left:
