Hi, I'm getting text messages on iPhone and iPad that will not appear on my Mac Pro running Big Sur.
So when someone sends me a text, any idea as to why I'm seeing messages on my iOS devices and not my Mac?
If I start texting on my Mac, everything is fine. It's only when someone sends me a text.
Thanks!
Go to Settings > [Your Name] > iCloud, and toggle on Messages on an iOS or iPadOS device.
On a Mac, go to Messages in the menu bar [once messages is open of course], then Preferences (or do Cmd + ,) and then select the iMessage tab [if it isn’t in that tab, try the other one] at the top, and then turn on Messages in iCloud. There’s also a manual synchronise button there so once you’ve done that on your other devices you can try to force your Mac to synchronise.
Do note, it is a synchronisation service, so messages deleted on one device will delete on all.

Turn on Messages in iCloud on all of your devices, this should help a lot with synchronising your messages.
Thanks for your reply, but how do I turn on Messages in iCloud on all of my devices? I can't seem to find any info on that in my iCloud.com account.
Thanks GreeniusGreen. Messages wasn't turned ON on the iPad. I hope this fixes the problem.
Cheers!
Messages different on Mac than iPad/iPhone...
