iPhone 15 updated to iOS 17.2 and thereafter message syncing with iCloud is paused.

First of all always check status

Apple - Support - System Status

Then in iPhone Settings, [your name], iCloud, (show all if necessary), have messages ON

Then try 1 year or 30 days to minimise server storage

I am on 17.2 with no problems

Is anyone else that's having this Message sync-pause issue on their iPhones unable to access Messages via icloud.com on the web?

I don't even see the Messages icon in my web-cloud since this issue cropped up on my phone.

Srsly, WTF.

Facing the same issue after updating to iOS & iPad OS 17.2

On iPad it was initially working fine, when tried to force sync it using iCloud -> same issue started popping up on iPad.

Turning off the sync & rebooting the device and turning it back on, has not solved the issue yet.

Same issue since upgrading to 17.2 :(

Advanced Data Protection has nothing to do with it, even for the ones which are off from the beginning has also this same issue.

Thats why I refuse to call them with my issue. Usually stuff like this fixes itself eventually on its own. It usually works after like 1 or 2 yrs from my experience with bugs. Like my issue is I dont think texts are being deleted on the server end. I manually delete mine everyday and have them set to keep for 30 days but I still delete them before that. So I think the reason my backup storage keeps increasing on ios 17.2 is because theyre not deleted on the server end. Ive heard it could take anywhere between 4 days-180 days to delete on the server end. So we'll see

Also having this happen on my new 15PM on 17.2.1. Everything syncs fine on my other Apple devices, just this phone. My wife and son are on 15P's with similar text count and storage demands but no issues. Come on Apple, fix this.

Ditto same issue although I’m on 17.2.1 no matter can’t seem to help. Apple support telling me to overnight turn off all apps make sure on WiFi and plugged in see what that does. Very odd as this just started way after I installed 17.2.1 Crazy now messages on my Mac and iPhone are not syncing. Anyone else?

Yup theres many bugs in the icloud backup. And they all popped up in ios 17.2 Heres a link to a thread I started the other day on here of all the bugs Ive found Bugs in ios 17.2 I have found - Apple Community

Yup, having the same issue since updating to 17.2

I have the same issue. Updated iPhone 15PM to 17.2 and have the Syncing Paused message at the bottom of my iMessages. I’ve tried restarting the device and the sync. Tracking for an update.

Same issue
