iMessage

Hello everyone hopefully what I’m writing is clear. Parts of my conversations are missing from iMessage on my computer but I have all my texts on the phone. Lately I been in areas where I have horrible cell service so I had to toggle send and receive to my cell and it messed up some of the settings on my computer. Is there a way to get whatever was missing back on my computer?

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 11.7

The Apple iMessages application on an Apple Computer work fine for sending and receive iMessages provide the Recipient is using an Apple Device.


It will not work fine if the Recipient of the iMessage message is using an Android Device


To achieve this would require and associate iPhone to send / receive SMS / MMS messages


Further, on the iPhone >> Setting >> General >> Messages the " Forward Text Message " must be enabled


Still in that place on the iPhone, the Computer would have to be listed by Name and Enable ( Slider to Green )
