Why won't non-iOS device sent text messages delete on Watch when deleted on iPhone?

[smileman]

Any idea why Apple hasn't added this fully message sync to the Watch?

Standard (non-iOS sent) SMS messages just pile up on the Watch and need to be removed manually one at a time.

Fix is reportedly coming in watchOS 6.
But yeah, should already do it.

Not in any of the betas so far.

Interesting. I had read this somewhere in one of the OS 6 beta threads, but don't have it installed on my devices, so no first-hand experience. Guess we'll find out soon enough...
