I had this same issue. Are you just using iMessage on your devices or did you enable the optional Messages in iCloud feature? This is important as that feature is what syncs the removal of the posts. If both of your devices are signed in to the same iCloud account, the messages would come in to each device, but to sync removal, you'll want to make sure that Messages in iCloud is on, as that will sync them with all devices. Here are a couple of articles in case you need them. I hope this helps!
