For some reason my iMessage just started not syncing to my MacBook Air. I can 'send' iMessages but not receive on my MacBook Air.
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.15
So I had this problem too. Had the issue more with text messages, not iMessages not syncing. They would be marked as read on my iPhone but not on any other devices. However, if I read them on my watch, M1 Macbook Pro, or iPad, they would be marked as read. I spoke with Apple Support, who had me try many different things, including resetting network settings, resetting my watch, turning iCloud off and on, off and on, restarting, etc.
What fixed this for me was going to my phone, going to Settings --> General --> Reset --> Reset All Settings.
iPhone rebooted twice, went back into settings, iMessage, logged in, and has not had this issue since. Text messages are automatically read on all devices, whether read on my iPhone, Watch or Mac.
Hopefully, this helps someone else!
I’m having the same problem. Have you fixed yours yet?
Sadly, not yet but I have escalated to 2nd tier support. Will keep you posted.
Any luck? Mine is having the same issue and I've tried all of the available suggestions too
Has this been fixed? Messages not syncing to the phone and computer is not working.
Please say yes!!
Yeah..sadly...tried again (and had done several times before) but still not syncing.
Thank you, thank you. This is clearest explanation I have ever read on how to solve the syncing problem in iMessages. It worked beautifully. Thank you again.
Yes, I have in recent days tried 2 new contacts and they have immediately synced between devices.
Thank you!!!
Thanks so much... This solved it for me!
This worked for me! Thanks
That's great advice, but Text Message Forwarding isn't there.
dpaik-Thanks; this worked!
This is absolutely infuriating. You have to do a rain dance to make the machines you PURCHASED function.
I have the exact same problem ..... have also tried all the prior solutions .... thanks to everyone who posted, but none worked for me either.
YES!! Thank you so much for posting this, its been driving me crazy and your method worked!
Thank you so much, it worked after days of trying!
