This worked but now I have a new issue.
Got a pop-up message "Messages in iCloud not available as iCloud and iMessage accounts do not match. Messages in iCloud is not available because iCloud and iMessage accounts are different."
Here's a screenshot.
That could be the issue. Make sure you are signed into the same Apple ID (your important one) on all devices. Someone else will see this thread and start adding stuff I am missing so you are in good hands. this should be able to be sorted.

Thank you for the screenshot. I am going to report this response so that it gets its own thread because it is an Apple ID issue. When you go to Settings>messages>send & receive - is the Apple ID you are signed into on that device listed?
Go to Settings/[your name] and look at the Apple ID at the top.
Then go to Settings/Messages/Send & Receive and check the Apple ID (at the bottom) you are logged in as.
They are the same Apple ID (though in Settings/Messages/Send & Receive and the Apple ID is at the top, not the bottom).
Another thing, and I don't know if this is related, is that the messages in Messages (app) on my Mac are not the same as the Messages on my iPhone.
