Is there some housecleaning or reinstall? or did Apple install a NSA patch?

The messages orginating from my iphone are displaying in messenger on the macbook but it always has a red circle displaying 2.

Messages not Working Correctly MacOS Ventura Since updating to 13.0.1 (22A400), my messages app is not functioning correctly. Pinned people have dissappeared, Messages come in with no sender information, I can't send attachements/photos/etc. Everything works fine on my iPad and iPhone, so clearly a MacOS issue.

Mac OS Messages not receiving non-iPhone (green bubble) texts in Monterey Since updating to Monterey, Messages on my Mac doesn't work with non-iPhone text messages any longer. I still get them on my iPhone, but they don't show up on my Mac. Blue bubble iPhone messages still come through just fine, but absolutely no green bubble messages do. What happened?
