Deleting texts on multiple devices

I just got my 2nd iPhone. Restored the new one from backup of old one, it transferred everything over including text messages.
My question is this: If I delete the texts & iMessages on my old phone, will they also delete from my new one? Thanks!
New phone

The messages are stored on the phone itself
So No - deleting the messages from the old phone will not affect those already on the new one
I did the same from 5 to 6 Plus - restored and the old phone and traded it in
Messages are fine

    When iMessage is activated on multiple devices with the same Apple ID, will deleting the message on one device delete it on all others?

    No, it will not.

  • How to delete apps from multiple devices?

    I have multiple IOS devices that share a single Apple-id.  Is there a way to delete the app from all IOS devices automatically, or do I have to delete it from each device?
    Also, why do deleted APPs come back when the devices are sync'd (via cable) to my Mac?
    Brian

    Regarding your first question, I believe you have to delete them from each device --- unless you first delete the app from iTunes, then sync your i-device using iTunes.
    Regarding the second question, the key is to delete the app from iTunes on your Mac.  That would end the undesireable behavior.

  • Deleting iMessages across Multiple Devices

    I have seen multiple posts that bring up this same question, but it appears there is no solution. My question is this: What could be a workaround?
    The problem is this: I have a work Mac, a home Mac, a MacBook Pro laptop, and iPad, and iPhone. All are logged in to iCloud and turned on 24/7. (This is required because of unrelated network issues.) As we all know, when a message comes in to one device it goes out to all devices. So when a sensitive and private message comes in and I delete it immediately, it remains on all my other devices for my children and employees to see.  This is unacceptable.
    This is ridiculous. Doesn't anybody at Apple consider this as important enough to provide protection to my privacy? These complaints have been listed on this discussion board for at least four years. We need a workaround. What do other people do?
    Can iMessage be controlled perhaps by an AppleScript so that it can be turned off when I leave one location, and easily turned back on when I return?
    I have tried managing iMessage through iCloud.com, but that is not possible.
    What workarounds are possible?? There's got to be something.

    for the   Points
    The issue of how the iMessages appear on each device and what people expect and would like has been a bone of contention since the Messages beta in Lion.
    Basically they are pushed from the server (not Fetched like mail)
    They are divided/Duplicated so theta each registered device gets a copy that is uniquely for one registered device  (the Mac uses the Serial Number to Create the Auth Token).
    That copy keeps getting pushed until accepted on the device then it is deleted form the servers.
    This may mean a iMessages has been sent to the iPhone but not to a Mac that is Off line.  However if you delete it on the iPhone you cannot get the iMessages again even if one "Copy" has not left the server.
    Only while the devices are linked (one overriding Apple ID) will the iMessages be sent to Multiple devices.
    As soon as that stops so do the iMessages.
    "Syncing" is only "Display on all devices" and no more.

  • Deleting emails from multiple devices

    I don't understand if I delete an email from my iPhone, iPad or iMac why I have to repeat that deletion on the other devices. They are all up to date software-wise and in the cloud. Can anyone please help?

    Comcast email is a POP system, it does not sync between devices, any devices.
    Comcast have recently begun a test program for Imap on their email, and Imap does sync so contact Comcast and ask to be enrolled in the program, or wait for them to offer it to you.

  • Deleting messages off multiple devices

    Help, I am having trouble getting my mail set up how I want to.  I have had my iPhone a year and my iPad about a week.  Side note – my e-mail is a hotmail account.  Well, on my phone, whenever I check my mail on there and delete a message, and then go to a desktop computer and log in to my e-mail, the e-mail message I deleted is still there.  This wasn’t so bad when I just had the phone but I have an iPad and it does the same thing.  So, if I delete a message on my iPad and go to my iPhone, the message is still there….then I delete it from my phone and log on to a desktop, it is still there.  I want to be able to delete a message off of one device and it is off all of my e-mail accounts.  I realize this is probably a simple fix.  I would greatly appreciate any help!

    The only way to have that is to be running an IMAP email account. Last time I checked, admittedly years ago, Hotmail didn't have that.

  • For an iCloud and/or Windstream email account, how can I delete emails across multiple devices, without having to go to each device?

    I have a friend with an iCloud email account and Windstream account on both her iPad and iPhone... She's saying that when she deletes an email from one device, it doesn't delete it from the other automatically... She's using both emails through the "Mail, Contacts and Calendars" settings under the "Settings" menu; not through apps...  I've had her check both of her email account settings to make sure that the settings were consistent... I've never had this issue with Exchange or Gmail, and I don't use the iCloud email account, so I'm a little unfamiliar with what else to look at... Can someone offer some advice, please?
    Thank you for your help!

    IMAP is the mail protocol that allows you to delete a message one place and have it delete everywhere else. iCloud uses IMAP, so it should be working. If the messages never delete, then something may be incorrect in the settings. The easiest thing to do with iCloud is to logout of the account on every device, and then login again. (Another common problem with iCloud email is people often have two Apple IDs, and thus may have two iCloud email accounts. If you get confused about which one you're using, you may think you've deleted email when you actually haven't.)
    If the iCloud messages do ultimately delete across all devices, then it could be that some devices aren't set to "Push" but are instead set to "Fetch" the newest info from the server. Fetch can be set to as long as an hour between check-ins.
    The same holds true for Windstream if she's using an IMAP account there, too. If it's a POP account, then deleting a message one place will never delete it anywhere else—that's the way POP works.

    How could i delete an email and have it delete on my ipad as well. I use an optonline account. 

    You need an Exchange or IMAP account. Not possible with a POP account.

  • Contacts were deleted by an activesync device, but why?

    Hi,
    our CEO has an exchange account where he adds all his contacts. Now there are 2778 contacts.
    For some reason, sometimes his contacts gets deleted and I guess, that it depends on one of his mobile devices. He has his Samsung S5  and Apple iPad mini which he uses all day long. And he has a S4 mini which is only a backup phone.
    Is there something like a conflict rule on the exchange server which said: If here is a conflict, use the content on the mobile device to synchronize?
    Or is there an option on the exchange server, which doesnt allow the mobile devices to delete all contacts or mails at the same time?
    Thanks for your help.
    Thomas 

    Hi ,
    Based on my knowledge if we delete the contacts from outlook it will get deleted in active sync device and reversal.But it won't get deleted automatically.
    Is there something like a conflict rule on the exchange server which said: If here is a conflict, use the
    content on the mobile device to synchronize?
    None of the contacts will be deleted due to multiple devices configured for a single account.
    Or is there an option on the exchange server, which doesn't allow the mobile devices to delete all contacts or mails at the same time?
    Based on my knowledge there is no such kind of option.
    In exchange you can enable the mailbox auditing for the critical mailboxes to avoid such kind of issues and with the help of the audit logs you can able to find out who has deleted the mailbox items even you can track mailbox owner activities also.
    Thanks & Regards S.Nithyanandham

  • How do I set up imessage across multiple devices

    I am trying to link my phone mobile number and my apple ID to the same imessage account, so I can text across multiple devices.

    In addition to Amy's comment, set the Caller ID on your phone to the same email address that is associated with your apple ID (and which should be used on iMessage on your other devices).  This way the messages will stay synced across all devices.

  • Multiple devices showing in text message forwarding

    Is anybody seeing multiple devices when turning on "Text Message Forwarding" (Continuity for SMS) in iOS 8.1?

    This was a keychain issue for me...  Working now….
    You may want to make a back up before deleting those entries just incase…
    This is the entry to look for in Keychain Access "com.apple.ids: localdevice-AuthToken” delete all entries with that listed. But not yet…
    Step by step:
    • Create new admin users on any Mac or Mac(s)
    • Sign out of the Messages app (sign out of your Apple ID / Messages) on your iPhone
    • Then sign into the new, admin-test user account(s) on your Mac(s)
    • From there, sign into iMessage in Messages (sign in to your Apple ID in Messages) on your Mac(s)
    • Sign in to the Messages app on your iPhone (sign in to your Apple ID in Messages on your iPhone)
    • Then on the iPhone, for the first Mac, see if you get the hand shake with a confirmation code
    • If so, sign in on the other Mac(s) and see if it pops up as well…. Good so far? Proceed
    • If both work then log out of the Mac(s) test account(s) and back in to your main account(s)
    • Sign out of the iPhone and iMessage in both accounts. Main and Test accounts, Mac(s) and iPhone
    • Now, delete the entries in keychain in both user accounts, test and your normal user account(s)
    • Reboot the Mac(s) and iPhone…
    • Now, sign into the iPhone Messages account with your Apple ID
    • Lastly, sign into iMessage in Messages (sign in to your Apple ID in Messages) on your Mac(s)
    You should be good to go :-)

  • Deleting multiple devices in Cisco Security Manager

    I imported 200 devices from configuration files in cisco security manager which I need to remove again due to updates in the predeployed configurations...
    Does anyone know how to remove devices without selecting every single one and clicking "delete" or restoring the database? :)
    Thanks!

    Maybe from the common services webpage you could select multiple devices at a time ?

  • Please help, apps continue to reappear when I sync multiple devices after I permantaly deleted from itunes

    PLease help: apps continue to reappear after I permantaly delete them when I sync multiple devices.. How do I fix this?
    I have tried everything..

    The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
    The only way to permanently remove an app is to delete the app from iTunes on your computer and delete the app from every device that has the app. If you don't, then when the devices are synced to the computer it will be transfered back to the iTunes library on the computer from the device.

  • HT5395 Delete on Multiple Devices?

    Okay so my dad has my phone and he's going to look at my text messages. If I delete a conversation from messages, shouldn't it delete on my phone, too?

    Hi,
    Eric is right.
    To state it another way: in this case "Sync" means "Display on All Devices"  and nothing else.
    You can delete it on one device without effecting the others.
    The positive from this is that the iPhone will only "store" messages that are not deleted.
    The Mac version can Save them.
