Messages on the watch are not removed when deleted on the phone. You can only delete one at a time. Is their some hidden way to erase messages off the watch.
Same goes for emails on the watch. I rarely try to read emails on the watch.
Does build up of texts and emails eat up memory on watch

Hmmm...just noticed that there is a 'clear all' for Notifications but not iMessage! I'd like to know this also?
Just did quick search of net and Apple Forums.....doesn't seem to be a way to do it...however, where do they go? The list doesn't seem to be all inclusive so they must delete over time ???

Only erase messages 1 at a time. It's a pain at times but Apple probably did this so people would not accidentally erase important messages. Does not eat up memory as far as I know in regard to emails and text.

I think a text is auto deleted after 30 days

I don't have iMessage enabled on iCloud so I always have to delete messages on each device anyways but I usually delete things right after I read them except for a couple specific contacts. Never checked what happens to emails, I just figured they get deleted when you delete them on the phone..

I don't read email on my watch but I do like getting the texts on it. I usually delete email and texts shortly after I get them. Would be nice to delete all at one time on the watch.
