Since i updated my iphone 15 pro max to 17.2, I have a message that says "syncing paused" at the bottom of my imessage screen. Forcing it to sync doesn't fix it. I see others are having the same issue.
iPhone 15 Pro Max
All, understand the frustration. As before, mine was not simply fixed by installing 17.3. My recommendation is to install 17.3, then do the following on a device by device basis, but wait until it finishes on one before starting another. Example:
1.) install 17.3 on iPhone
2.) reboot iPhone after install
3.) Settings > iCloud > Show All Apps > Messages in Cloud > Sync Now
4.) Let it finish. It’s going to take awhile.
Then do the same with other devices having the issue. One by one. Let the sync finish before starting the next one.
Didn't work for me. I followed instructions to the T. This is an Apple problem they need to resolve.
I have 2TB & I’m not even using 1TB so I have plenty of storage.
Doesn’t it delete everything? If so then my question is now that my phone has backed up without all of the messages, would they be gone forever?
This worked for me, thanks! Got a new 15 today and didn’t know why it was reading “syncing paused” in texts. 🙏
Just had this happen this morning. So, it’s still a problem.
I have the iPhone 15 Pro and did the latest update and still have this problem.
Just spent almost 3 hours troubleshooting with apple care and yes this a problem that no one knows how to fix. We are basically just doing free product testing for them at this point
and here we are now in february with the same issues
Why does it say, “Sync paused” below my text messages?
Any update? Because I’m still having the issue.
The James French1 solution worked for me. Thank you!
I’m having the same problem as everyone else about my text messages saying syncing paused and I’ve tried everything and nothing works. I want to know what the heck is going on.???? Upset customer
I’m paying $3.00 a month for messages I can’t even access.
I could have told you not to even bother. It’s just a waste of time at this point. They know the problem.
Just upgraded to the iPhone 15 pro max and noticing the same issue. Did this ever get resolved for you? If so, how?
