Messy Messages: Apple needs to do more with Messages’ continuity across devices

“We all send and receive lots of text messages,” Kirk McElhearn writes for Macworld. “Some are iMessages, some are SMSs, but everyone uses them.”

“It’s convenient that I can see all my text messages on all my devices, thanks to my iCloud account,” McElhearn writes. “I can get a text message on my iPhone and see it on my iPad, my iPod touch, or on either of my Macs.”

“I don’t like the clutter of conversations I don’t need,” McElhearn writes. “The problem arises when you have multiple devices. You need to delete each conversation on each device… If Messages can send these messages to all my devices using iCloud… why can’t iCloud also delete the conversations on all my devices?

MacDailyNews Take: Seems like this could be easily accomplished by Apple and, as Kirk suggests, Apple should also provide a setting to only delete messages on the selected device, too.
