MESSAGES APP

Messages app does not sync across devices. iMessage does but messages to android devices are not syncing. The 'text forwarding' is on on my phone and I see the messages everywhere, but, when I delete a text from either my phone or other apple devices it only deletes on the device on hand, I then have delete all messages on all devices individually which defeats the entire purpose of an ecosystem. I will appreciate any help.

PS: It says "Are you sure you want to delete. this will delete on all devices" so I'm sure this is possible

When I say "I see my messages everywhere" or "I see my messages on all my devices", what do you think that means? Because if it wasn't on I wouldn't be able to see the messages everywhere.

Secondly, I have already tried disabling iCloud syncing and enabling it again and also restarting my device. And I already mentioned that iMessage is NOT the problem, the issue is with all the other messages to android devices(THE GREEN BUBBLE MESSAGES) and before you suggest I already tried signing out of iMessage.

You never said you had iCloud syncing enabled. You said you had text message forwarding enabled. That's not iCloud Syncing. Getting all of your iMessage on all of the devices signed into the same Apple ID is also not iCloud Syncing. Everything you described in your original post indicates you do not have it turned on on all of your devices. Did you read the article I linked to and did you make sure that you have it enabled on all of your devices?

If you did those two things and you're still having a problem, I'd try signing out of iMessage on all of your devices and then signing back in.

What it means is that you are signed into the same Apple ID and have text message forwarding enabled. It does not necessarily mean that you have iCloud syncing turned on.

Secondly, I have already tried disabling iCloud syncing and enabling it again and also restarting my device. And I already mentioned that iMessage is NOT the problem, the issue is with all the other messages to android devices(THE GREEN BUBBLE MESSAGES) and before you suggest I already tried signing out of iMessage.

I didn't suggest you sign out of iCloud syncing because I'm not convinced you're actually signed into it on all of your devices. And, I already suggested you sign out of iMessage and back on on all of your devices. It's sounding as if you're not really reading what I'm posting so, I don't see much point in contiuing to do so.

Best of luck.

I already said it is on severally! I didn't say that you told to disable and then enable iCloud syncing I said that's what I did to try and see if it will solve my problem. But you are purposefully misinterpreting my words. You shouldn't have responded if you did not have an idea of how to solve of the problem and it seems you don't even understand the problem in the first place.
