Are you able to sync up your text messages with your watch so that only the current messages are showing on the watch?

iCloud synging for Messages has not yet been extended to the Apple Watch.

Of all the stupid “New Features” coming out on the weekly iOS updates... THIS IS BY FAR... the DUMBEST and MOST ANNOYING.

Hopefully The so called R n D department reads these threads

If you had actually read this thread, you would know 1) why the feature is important and 2) that the the only Apple employees who read these threads are the forums hosts. The link for giving feedback to Apple has been provided repeatedly in this thread. I will leave as an exercise to the reader to find it.

I’m a product manager/application designer and this is aweful. One cardinal rule is use as few clicks/steps necessry to perform an action. I hate this “new feature”!

Please revert this change!! Seems more like a bug to me.

Most of your fellow users don't care whether or not you like the feature. And, obviously, you didn't bother to read the thread or you'd understand why the feature is important. And, the other thing you would have discovered if you'd read the thread is how to tell Apple what you think.

I guessing whoever they work for doesn't have the same hiring standard as Apple.

Clearly not.

Yes I agree Apple is feature is kind of annoying... please reconsider this before iOS 12 launches.

It is obvious that you didn't read the thread before posting. If you had, you would know 1) why the feature was implement and why it's important and 2) that Apple isn't reading here for suggestions.

I leave it as an exercise to the reader to go back through the thread to find the link to the feedback page to let Apple know how you feel.

I'm sorry for the misunderstanding I do understand why it was implemented but I did not expect to be attacked in a forum post.... Next time I'll read further before responding and only exercising my opinion. 😀

To play devils advocate here, I think the Jaked up version of the ASC software causes many of these posts. If you notice georgev2 replied to the OP. If you go to this thread you see the OPs post and then 3 helpfuls (?) that agree with the OP. Scroll down and you get the read all replies. If you aren't familiar with the system you would tend to skip that button and click on Reply to the OP.

I was not attacking you. I was making an observation.

I've discussed with the Hosts that the current implementation doesn't encourage reading the whole thread. However, all it takes is scrolling to the bottom of the first page to see the "There's more to the conversation. Read All Replies".

I think it's more of a generational thing. And, by generational, I don't mean chronological age, I mean when people first came to the online world. It used to be standard etiquette (and was often posted on the home page) that you should read and lurk for a while before posting, that by doing so, you'd often find your answer or realize that your observation had already been posted a dozen times. Ah, well.

Happy Fourth!

I agree on all points. What might be a remedy with this one is to mark one of the replies that points out using the Feedback link, giving it an Apple Recommended and moving it to the first page under the OPs question.

I totally agree I thought I was losing my mind I’ve spent hours looking for the button to turn off the idiotic response. We should be given the option to choose how we want to delete OUR messages on OUR phones.

Well, when you weigh this crisis against the whole NATO thing (or whatever), you get a good sense of what's important in the world. 😁

Come on, what's really important is what Melania will wear to tea with the Queen.
