The guy didn't have Messages in iCloud enabled, so when he deleted them
from one device they remained on the other devices signed into the same
iCloud account. Expecting them to be deleted from his other devices
despite not having Messages in iCloud enabled is irrational. His
"problem" is the result of user error. So, like so many others, this
frivolous lawsuit will go nowhere. 😉
