So it does seem that you want to be able to erase a message on one device and have it erase on another.

If you are using messages in iCloud then you should be able to do use that feature.

> You can check this in settings > name > iCloud > messages


If messages is toggled on, that means your messages are now being stored in iCloud. If you erase a message it will erase from all devices.
