When I was trying to find a past conversation of mine on my iphone I found that almost a years worth of conversation was deleted, I checked my macbook and found that the conversations were still in my messages app on my macbook. Is there a way to transfer these conversations back to my phone?
MacBook Air 13″, 11.7

You can sync your messages via iCloud. Verify your iPhone isn't already synced, then sync your Mac:

2.Select which email addresses and phone numbers you want to send and receive messages from on your Mac.
Any messages currently stored in iCloud are now accessible on your Mac, and any new messages you receive on your Mac will be stored in iCloud.
Note: If you want to see SMS and MMS messages on your Mac, see the Apple Support article Forward SMS/MMS text messages from your iPhone to your Mac or iPad.
3.To see Messages stored in iCloud, open the Messages app.

After synced your Mac, verify they all appear and your messages are not set to one year. Then set up your iPhone to sync with iCloud.
