SMS Messages Do Not Delete Between iPhone and Watch Hello. I have found myself spending countless hours with apple care to find out why my sms messages will not delete across the iPhone and watch. Deleting an sms message on the iPhone will not delete on the watch (even if "mirror phone" is selected) and vice versa. I was told in my last call to apple care that this is not supported by the system and that I would need to continue to manually delete sms messages from my watch. Is this accurate? I cannot understand why they do not sync in this way and why they do not truly mirror each other. Any suggestions (with instructions) would be greatly appreciated.

Apple Watch don't sync deleted SMS/iMessages whit iphone My iPhone and Apple Watch don't sync deleted SMS/iMessages well. When I delete a message on the phone, it does not delete it from the watch, the same happens when I delete it from the watch, then the message is not deleted from the phone. The phone and the watch have the latest software. There is no problem with adding / deleting contacts to the phone book and deleting recent calls.

Messages synchronised between iPhone and Apple Watch Hi there, I’ve noticed that if I delete a message from my iPhone, it doesn’t necessarily delete from my Apple Watch (and vice versa). Is there a setting that I need to enable for this to synchronise across devices? Thanks.

See this, Keep all your messages in iCloud - Apple Support

However, understand that if you delete a message it is gone. There is no recovery, since they are no longer backed up, they are just stored in iCloud.
