Sync has never worked properly between my iphone and mac. Only some messages are synced across (i.e. when I receive them on the phone, they appear on the Mac). I can't work out why some messages are being synced and not others. I have signed out and signed in on both devices to no avail. Thanks.
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.6
Hi nickkoo,
We'll be glad to help out with syncing your messages. One potential cause for them not all appearing, is if you do not have text message forwarding set up on all devices in use.
To set this up, follow Forward SMS/MMS text messages from your iPhone to your Mac or iPad - Apple Support
"Automatically forward texts to your other devices
As long as your iPhone is turned on and connected to Wi-Fi or a cellular network, new SMS/MMS texts can be sent and received on the devices that you added."
Setting up Messages in iCloud will also ensure that all messages are synced across all devices. That can be set up by following Set up iCloud for Messages on all your devices - Apple Support
That should solve this for you.
Cheers.
