I wish on the apple watch, the messages would be deleted when deleted on the iphone, the mac , imac, rather than they stay there and have to be erased individually. There should be an option that would allow for the watch to delete the imessages when deleted somewhere else.
 
Mental isn’t it? I don’t know what the Muppets at Apple were thinking of when they decided that SMSs would not be deleted and only iMessages would when it comes to the watch. Whoever decides these things clearly are one tin short of a six pack. Stupid does not sum it up.

It really doesn't make sense, because the only messages that I delete are spam, which are always green SMS! And I have to do it manually on every device. So frustrating.

If you turn iCloud messages on then iMessages deleted on the phone will be deleted from the watch or vice versa and even i presume from a iPad\Mac as well. The issue remains with green SMS though, you still have to delete these from all devices individually.
