In order for your Messages to sync between your devices, you will have to set up iCloud for your devices.


  • On your iPhone, head on over to Settings > [your name] > iCloud, then turn on “Use on this iPhone.


  • On your Mac, Choose Messages > Settings, click iMessage, then select Enable Messages in iCloud.


Once both those are turned on, your messages should sync freely between your devices!
