How to delete messages on Apple Watch

It makes sense and takes less time to delete all messages from the Apple Watch at once. Sorry, there is no option to wipe all messages. However, you can delete conversations one at a time. Here's how:

1. Click Digital Crown (control button on the side) on Apple Watch to access the application screen.

2. Click Messages to open.

3. Scroll down to the conversation you want to delete.

4. Swipe left on the conversation to bring up two options.

5. Click the trash icon to the right to delete string.

6. Repeat these steps for all conversations you want to delete from Apple Watch.

Restrictions on deleting messages from Apple Watch

The process of deleting messages slowly is not the only restriction here. Another disappointing factor is that while there are multiple apps syncing between Apple Watch and iPhone, Messages is not one of them. Conversations you delete from the Apple Watch will still be on your iPhone and messages you delete on your phone will remain on the watch.

This means that aside from keeping things organized and freeing up storage space, deleting messages from Apple Watch has very few practical benefits. It's best to clean up the Music app instead of spending time processing Messages.
