Text Messages across Macbook, iPad and iPhone

I upgraded my Macbook to OS 13.4.1 and again have sync issues across my devices. This time it's Messages. I cannot send a message from my Macbook and messages sent from my iPhone do not show up on my Macbook. Incoming messages will appear on my iPhone but not Macbook.


And as usual, I suspect but haven't verified that my podcasts on my iPhone have been all messed up, too. That's usually what happens after "upgrades."

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 13.4

Hey Staynavytom,


We'd recommend reviewing this article to help ensure your Messages in iCloud are set up as expected for both of your devices: Set up iCloud for Messages on all your devices - Apple Support


If that doesn't help, we'd recommend checking to ensure that you are signed in with the same Apple ID for messages on both devices. If the issue continues we'd recommend disabling iMessage on both devices, then restarting your devices and turning Messages back on to see if that resolves the issue.


Thanks!
