Messages not Synching?

Not sure if I’m the only one. But I had this same issue on my OG Watch.

When I activated and started using my Series 4 my messages matched my messages on my iPhone X. A few updates later I have WAY more messages on my watch than I have on my iPhone X. It’s like their not synching. Is there a fix for this? I tried rebooting my watch several times and still same issue.

I’m not aware of anything like this nor have I experienced it. Hopefully someone more familiar with Apple Watches will chime in soon. I’m still a newbie.

As far as I recall, Apple Watch still does not support Messages in iCloud, so deleting messages from the iPhone does not sync to the watch. At least, not yet. I believe that it's supposed to be coming (though I have read that before.) Looking at my phone and watch, there are message threads that I deleted from the iPhone that are still on the watch.

So, what you are seeing is the way it's working for everyone. Well, at least for me, too.

Okay no worries. Makes me feel like I’m not losing my mind then
