iMessage Pins Layout Not Syncing

Why is the layout in my iPhone 11 not syncing on my 2020 MacBook Pro in the same way?


I have removed some persons from my pinned iMessages on my iPhone and added new people who I communicate with more often these days. However, no matter what I do they won’t sync the same way on my MacBook and it’s very frustrating. The messages themselves sync quite fine but the layout of the pinned messages remain the same as the first time I ever set them up. Which I’ve changed on my iPhone a couple times.


Can some help me with this please?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.1

You have to make sure that you have Messages synced in iCloud on both your phone and your computer.


So for your phone go to:


Settings -> (Your name) -> iCloud -> Messages (Make sure the switch is turned on)


Then on your Mac go to:


Messages -> Preferences -> iMessage Tab -> Enable Messages in iCloud (Checkbox)


Let me know if this works for you!
