I'm not sure if this is on the Mac or iPhone side, but I noticed often messages aren't syncing properly. For example, today, I deleted a message on my Mac, but it did not delete on my iPhone. I'm not sure if it being a SMS message makes a difference, but it generally isn't syncing properly. I've tried clicking "Sync Now" in Messages settings, but that does not seem to make a difference.

Any suggestions or ideas? Is it my configuration, or is Messages on iCloud just buggy?
 
I can't say I have the exact problem, but I've noticed some syncing issues.

Also, if all messages are manually deleted on both iPhone and Mac, and then I turn off syncing (essentially no messages should be anywhere in the cloud and for security/safety reasons, this is a pretty big deal) yet, I still see 1000KB used space by messages upon enable...they aren't messages, as they don't show up anywhere, but it's bugging me and scary to think about that they aren't actually deleted properly

It took Apple 1 year to fulfill their promise of Messages in iCloud back at WWDC 17, and I still think they somehow needed more time lol. These little bugs should not exist this after waiting so long for this feature to arrive.
