When I installed Monterey earlier tonight, all the conversations in Messages disappeared. I still have them on my iPhone. I can't import them because all of those commands are greyed out. Does anyone have an answer for the mysterious Monterey Message muncher?
MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 12.0
P. Phillips, thanks for your helpful question. Even though I didn't have an answer, it was helpful.
I observed that new messages were being received by Messages and not disappearing. I quit Messages and did other things all day. Tonight, I opened Messages expecting to see a small number of new texts that came in.
I was surprised to find that all of my messages had been restored.
I have no idea what caused the problem. I solved it through benign neglect.
Monterey is working great.
Is Use Messages in iCloud setup before the upgrade to Monterey ?
I think it was, but I am not sure.
Than is good new.
Patience is a virtue
Messages & Monterey
