So even though I have everything updated and I put my I cloud to “sync everything” on my Mac, messages that I deleted on my i phone from the past still show up, even though newer deleted things get deleted , the old stuff stays. I just didn’t want to always have to do this manually or delete all my messages on every new device i get , any suggestions ?
MacBook Pro (2017 – 2020)
Hello Nelheat12,
We would like to see how we can help you with Messages. Any messages that were on the Mac before you started syncing with iCloud, will stay there until deleted manually. If you want to make sure a new change takes effect immediately, choose Messages > Settings, click iMessage, click Settings, then click Sync Now. For more information about Messages on Mac visit: Set up Messages on Mac - Apple Support
Cheers!
unfortunately this did not work, even after I deleted stuff, and it deleted on all my devices, I reset my MAC and it downloaded everything I thought was deleted. So it could be an I cloud thing now .
Hey Nelheat12,
Thanks for the update, if you’re experiencing unexpected behavior after deleting these older messages, it’d be best to contact Apple to look into things a bit further from here. They can be reached using this link: Get Support
Take care!
