Hello AndrewIH,
The first thing we would suggest would be to power cycle the iPhone by following these steps found at Restart your iPhone - Apple Support:
1. Press and hold either volume button and the side button until the power-off slider appears.
2. Drag the slider, then wait 30 seconds for your device to turn off. If your device is frozen or unresponsive, Force restart iPhone - Apple Support
3. To turn your device back on, press and hold the side button (on the right side of your iPhone) until you see the Apple logo.
While simple, this can refresh the iOS, apps and connections.
If the problem continues, and the issue is confined to Messages, follow these steps:
- Tap on Settings > [your name] > iCloud > Show All
- Look for Messages
- If On, tap Messages
- Toggle "Sync this iPhone" off
- Wait 10 seconds
- Toggle "Sync this iPhone" back on
The purpose of these steps is also to reset the connection with the servers.
Have a good day.

I don’t know why?
I’m sorry this is so terribly late. I upgraded to the iPhone 15 today & faced this small issue. Here’s how I fixed it:
Settings > Tap your profile > iCloud > Under “Apps Using iCloud” tap “Show All” > Messages in iCloud > Sync Now
Your messages will begin to sync!
here's your solution!
If you're seeing a "Syncing Paused" message on Messages on an iPhone, you can try these steps:
- Go to Settings
- Tap your name
- Select iCloud
- Select Show All
- Find Messages
- If it's on, tap Messages
- Toggle Sync this iPhone off
- Wait 10 seconds
- Toggle Sync this iPhone back on
