When a message arrives, it appears on both the Apple Watch Series 3 GPS only (OS 4.3) and the iPhone-7 (IOS-11.3). So far, so good.

However, if I delete the message on EITHER device, it remains on the other device. I have to delete from both devices separately. This occurs with incoming messages, outgoing messages, txt messages and iMessages.

Is there something that I can do about this?

iMac (Retina 4K, 21.5-inch, 2017), macOS High Sierra (10.13.2)

Messages synchronised between iPhone and Apple Watch Hi there, I’ve noticed that if I delete a message from my iPhone, it doesn’t necessarily delete from my Apple Watch (and vice versa). Is there a setting that I need to enable for this to synchronise across devices? Thanks.

SMS Messages Do Not Delete Between iPhone and Watch Hello. I have found myself spending countless hours with apple care to find out why my sms messages will not delete across the iPhone and watch. Deleting an sms message on the iPhone will not delete on the watch (even if "mirror phone" is selected) and vice versa. I was told in my last call to apple care that this is not supported by the system and that I would need to continue to manually delete sms messages from my watch. Is this accurate? I cannot understand why they do not sync in this way and why they do not truly mirror each other. Any suggestions (with instructions) would be greatly appreciated.
