Deleting all messages from iWatch

Can anyone tell me if its possible unless I'm missing something to delete all my messages from my iWatch all in one go because doing it manually is **** painful !!!!


1 - why does it not just mirror your iPhone

2 - why is there not an ability to delete all ( come on apple we are on OS 3 now ! )

3 - It aches keeping your wrist in the position where u can see the screen to delete messages, especially when trying to delete over 100 old messages !!!!! Arghhhhhhhhhhhhh


Help anyone ?

Apple Watch, watchOS 3

Hi


The Mirror my iPhone setting relates only to how you are notified about new messages. (If you instead choose Custom, you can control whether your watch shows alerts, whether sound and/or haptic alerts are provided and how many times alerts are repeated when new messages are received).


Message deletion is not synced across devices. Messages instead need to be deleted separately on each device (this is also how the app works across any additional Apple devices, such as a computer, iPad, etc).


It is not possible to delete all messages from your Apple Watch at once.


To delete messages:


On your watch, open the Messages app (via the Home screen, which is accessed via a single press of the Digital Crown) > when viewing the conversation list, swipe left on a conversation > tap Delete / Trash.
