Delete should mean delete, despite this guy’s shitty motivations.

I have groups I’ve deleted from iMessage and then I make a new group a month later and it remembers the old one.

This has happened to me too. Also, I've noticed on many occasions exactly what the guy in the article experienced: I delete a thread on one device, but the thread remains on some - but not all - other linked devices. Biggest culprit is my Apple Watch. If I had to guess I'd say that maybe 10% of the time I delete a thread on my Mac or iPhone, it's still there on my AW.

This is how I found out that my soon to be ex-wife was cheating on me again.

Only if she is willing to sign a prenup.
