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

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

Not sure but after speaking to many ppl at apple support I think theres a major issue with the messages app because I think thats whats causing my own issue with the backup storage bug increasing. I noticed in the iphone storage the message app stayed at 70mb for a week then today it recalloberated to 101mb (which I know it goes up and down depending how you use it) so Im thinking thats whats causing the issue in the icloud backup storage because I have deleted texts but I dont think its recallobrated in the cloud perhaps. I hope they fix it but I just keep reporting it.

Having exact same issue since update to iOS 17.2 and recent update to 17.2.1 did not resolve.

Clicking SYNC NOW does nothing.

Changing settings per other posts below does nothing.

Apple, please pay attention and fix this!

Why are Voicemails and Messages still the most difficult data to back-up on these devices?

It's been 30 fraggin' years since the invention of mobile phones, and this data has always been the most valuable.

Sure, Photos/Videos are extremely valuable, but easily back-up to various clouds.

Messages and VMs have always been a PITA to save.

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.

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.

Bought the iPhone 15 yesterday and having the same problem. Also noticed that when it set up my phone using my old iPhones data, a whole bunch of old messages, which I had deleted on my old iPhone, still turned up. Which means these still persist on the cloud. Tried turning on and off the sink button, but that didn’t do anything either.

This is happening to me also on a 14 pro after I did the update to the 17.2 whatever it’s called iOS. I also have a problem with the default alert time to exchange it does not work and I have to toggle to a different alert time if I want my reminders to show up on outlook and a bell to sound to remind me of the event.

I also have this exact same problem. None of the proposed solutions worked for me either, and I am not doing a logout/login with iCloud thus resetting my iPhone for fear of losing those thousands of messages that have not yet synced to iCloud, I will never risk that!

Has anyone tried the PUBLIC preview of 17 - 3 to see if that fixes it?

Tried this and as soon as I clicked Sync Now it changed status for 1 second and then went back to Syncing paused. Another iOS flaw. IN the past year or so, iOS has new flaws. Apple was never this bad in the past. I have had every iPhone version since the beginning. Many great phones over the years until now.

Exactly my issue I’m too angry with Apple not acceptable for them as a multi billion dollar company. My iPhone 4 was more reliable. Syncing still paused but yesterday I spoke with again another “Senior Tech” they said again that they know this issue that wait for the update?!! Weird

Tried and did not experiencing any changes on my end. Syncing resumes for under a minute, then goes back to

Syncing Paused even with phone plugged into power, with Background App Refresh Off, and phone on wifi (also tested wifi off and on cellular). No difference.

APPLE FIX THIS ALREADY, IT'S BEEN HAPPENING FOR THREE STRAIGHT iOS UPDATES!

How much longer will we wait?

We should get free iCloud plus plans for a year for this nonsense!!

What are we paying for if our iCloud data isn't syncing?

Same issue here. iOS 17.3. Apple iphone 15 pro. Sync does not work for imessages or keychain passwords Have spent the better part of the last three days on the phone to apple support. They indicate it is a widespread issue. Have tried every suggested fix I have been able to find online with no success. Has been lodged the engineering team…

Yup, having the same issue since updating to 17.2

Same issue since upgrading to 17.2 :(
