Prior to IOS 18, when I deleted messages on my Apple Watch Series 7, they were deleted only there. Now with IOS 18, the entire thread of messages gets deleted on my iPhone as well. Is there a fix or setting so it won’t delete from my iPhone as well. I have to keep recovering the messages from deleted messages. Thank you.
iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 18

People had been demanding it from Apple almost since the beginning of the Apple Watch. So, this is the "fix." Can you change it? No.
You can let Apple know what you'd like to see here:

Has there been a fix to this. I am now having the same issue after the iOS 18.4 update. I have a iPhone 14plus and series 9 watch

Yes this is a recent happening and most annoying. I liked deleting my messages on my Apple Watch but those same messages remained on my iPhone. Would love this to be reversed to as it was!
You can let Apple know your thoughts here:
However, I suspect you're in a minority and, as Apple has made the change recently to answer a lot of complaints over the years, I don't think it will change back any time soon.
Deleting new messages on Apple Watch deletes all the message on iPhone
