You must enable Messages in iCloud on your other devices. In this way, the messages are synchronized - so if you delete a message on your iPhone, it is also deleted from your other devices.


All devices must be signed in to the same Apple ID.


First, enable Messages in iCloud on your iPhone:

Settings Apple IDiCloud → enable Messages.


If you want to activate on your iPad, do this:

Settings Apple IDiCloud → enable Messages.


To activate on your Mac:

Open the Messages app → click Messages at the top of the menu bar → select Preferences → select iMessages → check Messages in iCloud.
