Deleting messages from the Apple Watch?

When I delete an iMessage/SMS message from my iPhone, it remains on the watch. There doesn't seem to be a way to delete it from the watch itself (I tried force touching, but there is no delete option). Is there something I overlooked, or should I go ahead and submit my feedback to Apple?

To delete a Messages conversation on your Apple Watch:


  • Open the Messages app on your watch:
    • When viewing the time, go to the Home screen (by pressing once on the Digital Crown) > tap on the Messages app icon.
    • Or use Siri (eg "hey Siri, open Messages").
  • When viewing the conversation list, swipe left on the conversation that you wish to delete > tap Delete / Trash.
