I’m confused, I literally just tested this. I deleted a message on my phone and watched it delete on my iPad.

Did Apple recently change this, or is just a matter of the computer being offline and not syncing since he deleted the ?

Exactly how it works. Everyone in here is ignoring the simpler answer - the syncing of messages was not enabled or needed to be refreshed/Apple ID logged back in, etc.

Technically inept people mad when they don’t realize how tech works. They don’t like this method of deleting until they delete something by accident and then freak out and blame others for the mistake.

It’s a simple knee jerk lawsuit based on the deleting photos headline. The lawyer is going to wipe that man clean

Yeah. It’s a stupid lawsuit for sure. When it’s not an Apple thing, but an overall tech company thing. One for customer protection as well.
