I have gone through ALL settings in regards to seeing texts when you log into your computer but I still cannot see them. In fact I dont even see the Messages icon anywhere

Hi ChelsCraddo,


Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities! To use Messages iCloud for Messages you would need an Apple device as noted in the following guide:


Keep your messages up to date with iCloud


When you set up iCloud for Messages, your messages are stored in the cloud instead of locally on your device. You can see them on any device that’s set up for iCloud and Messages, including your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac.



Hope this helps!

Have a great day.
