Sync iPhone messages with iMac
Guys & Girls,
Since I upgraded to Catalina the Messages on my iPhone will not sync with my iMac.
Any thoughts?

Thanks for getting back to us, philhansen. It's appreciated. It appears that your wife is experiencing the same issue.
Set up users, guests, and groups on Mac -- If your wife is using your account, then the messages won't sync from her iPhone to your Mac. She'll need her own account set up to sync messages from her iPhone.
Cheers!

Greetings, Phil.
I see that the messages you're receiving on your iPhone aren't showing on your iMac since you upgraded to macOS Catalina. I'm glad to help with this.
How to forward SMS/MMS text messages from your iPhone to your iPad, iPod touch or Mac -- If you're having issues with Text Message Forwarding, on your iPhone, go to Settings > Messages > Text Message Forwarding, and make sure your iMac has been selected.

Let me know how that goes.
Take care.
Chris,
Thanks. Got it working on my iMac except for my wife. Her messages will not copy from the iPhone to the iMac. Any further suggestions?

Ok, that did it. My wife now has a separate entry card in Contacts with no common phone numbers.
Thanks, Chris.
I love this forum.
