Recover messages from Macbook Pro?
I deleted a groupchat on my iPhone, but it’s still available on my Macbook. Does anyone know if theres a way to recover messages from your Macbook back onto your iPhone?

Hi Recover_from_Mac,
We understand that conversation history contains a lot of valuable memories, and we want to do all we can to help. So we're on the same page, is the group message on the Macbook in the Messages app, or a third-party app like WhatsApp or Facebook Messenger? If it's in the Messages app, each individual message has the option to "Share", and from the Share option (Small square with an arrow), you can email the messages to yourself. There isn't a way to share the entire conversation history at once.
If you're using Messages in iCloud on your iPhone, you'll want to avoid enabling that option on your Macbook until you've recovered the conversation content, otherwise the conversation history will also be removed from the Macbook when it syncs.
Another option is to take screenshots of the conversation history on the Macbook.
Let us know if you have any other questions, and we'll work from there.
Take care.
