iMessage between MacOS and iOS

The iMessage conversation I have with someone is linked across my iPhone, iPad and my MacBook Pro but the MacBook Pro has two conversations. One using phone number and the other using their email. Not sure why the iPhone and iPad have the conversation as one conversation seeing all messages but the computer is seeing them as two. Has Apple finally made a way to combine messages from the same contact yet?

Hi there Playham82,


Thanks for joining us in Apple Support Communities! We understand you're seeing two conversations for one contact in Messages on your Mac. We're glad you're here, and we can provide some guidance.


It sounds like you may have multiple cards for this contact on your Mac. Let's start by linking the contacts with the steps here to see if that helps:

Afterwards, quit the Messages app, wait a moment, and reopen it again to see if that resolved the issue. Let us know what you find.
