Potential Messages crash bug due to website previews

Messages push to watch despite actively using Messages on 10.12
Has anyone else noticed this? I have macOS Sierra GM and watchOS 3 GM. I am actively typing with someone in Messages on Sierra, but the notifications are still going to my watch. It's kind of driving me nuts. This didn't happen before, if you clear a notification on one device it doesn't go to...- Trik

Universal iMessage History and multiple devices
I think I know the answer to this, but I wanted to check before making the switch and losing my history. So, I have iMessages and texts getting delivered to both my iPhone and my Mac.

Do stickers remain in iMessages media section?
On iOS 9, when you look at your message details, you see all the media shared in the conversation. Currently, my conversations are full of gifs and bitmojis, and I imagine this will get worse with iOS 10's stickers implementation. Does anyone know if the stickers bypass the media folder?

In the process of doing some spring cleaning I had a thought - Is there a way (even if it's through an Apple script or something) to clear out old iMessages on OS X like there is on iOS? It's easy to set 30 days or a year on iOS, but I can't find any similar setting on OS X. I know my laptop... -
