I have an iPhone 14, the newest MacBook Air; my iPad is about 3 or 4 years old. I have all the settings on all my devices set for iMessages. I can delete messages from either my mac and iPhone, and the messages will get deleted everywhere. But when I delete the message from my iPad, it doesn't get deleted from either my Mac or iPhone. I have logged off my iPad and rebooted it to no avail. Does anyone have a solution?
Thx.

I have never been able to do this, and it is not standard. But I believe I can explain exactly why this occurs.
The Mac and iPhone are likely storing your messages in iCloud, while your iPad is not. On your iPad, check Settings > [your name] > iCloud > [possibly Show All] > Messages and be certain it’s set the same way as your Mac and iPhone.
Set up iCloud for Messages on all your devices - Apple Support
(I do not use iCloud Messages.)

Thanks for responding. I do have my iPad set up that that the messages are stored in iCloud. I even logged out of my iPad and logged back in to no avail.
