iMessages not showing up on MacBook Pro with iPhone 12 Pro

Since purchasing iPhone 12 nothing works right between devices in the iOS and MacOs ecosystems.


My computer does not show any of my replies or messages that I author on my phone, but it shows all of the replies.


iPhone still has a check box under "Apps suing iCloud" which is on.

Computer does not even have a check box for messages under "Apps using iCloud"


iOS - latest 14.x

Computer - Catalina 10.15.6

MacBook Pro with Touch Bar

Hi there Eric Spire,


Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you want to have the same messages on your iPhone and on your Mac, but they don’t seem to be syncing through Messages in iCloud. Check to make sure that both devices are signed in to the both iCloud account and check that Messages in iCloud is turned on with these steps: Use Messages in iCloud.


Note that Mac has this setting in Message Preferences instead of in the iCloud preferences.


We hope this helps!
