Hello, AngelaSwang.


Thank you for using Apple Support Communities! From your post, it sounds like you are having trouble syncing Messages from your iPhone to your Mac.



First, follow these steps to use your phone number with iMessage: Add or remove your phone number in Messages or FaceTime - Apple Support


If you can't sign in to your iMessage account or FaceTime on your Mac - Apple Support


After you're able to use iMessage with your Mac, you can then set up text message forwarding on your iPhone to receive SMS/MMS messages on your Mac: Use Continuity to connect your Mac, iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Apple Watch - Apple Support


You can also use Messages in iCloud: Keep all your messages in iCloud - Apple Support


I hope this helps! Take care.
