i tried to back up my iMessage to iCloud today and it told me that messages in iCloud were not available because my iCloud and iMessages accounts are different. I get what that says, but concern is I have only ever had 1 Apple account, which both my iCloud and iMessages are both tethered to. so I do not understand what I amn getting this message.
Didn’t work for me. I’m not sure when the messages in iCloud was turned off but I’ve tried almost every and it still enable. I keep getting the same message “messages in iCloud is not available because iCloud and iMessage accounts are different”.
Hello wbf92,
Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Communities! We understand that Messages aren't syncing as expected with iCloud. We recommend that follow the steps below on your iPhone:
1. Turn off Messages in iCloud in Settings > [your name] > iCloud.
2. Turn off iMessage in Settings > Messages.
3. Turn off FaceTime in Settings > FaceTime.
5. Turn on iMessage in Settings > Messages.
6. Turn on FaceTime in Settings > FaceTime
7. Wait 5 minutes.
8. Turn on Messages in iCloud in Settings > [your name] > iCloud.
Let us know the results and take care!
Thank you. Unfortunately that did not work for me either. :(
Thanks for the update wbf92,
At this point, we would recommend reaching out to Apple directly by checking out this link to Get Support and they will be more than happy to proceed with additional steps.
Have a great day!
Thanks. It worked for me!
