I have an iPhone 14 Pro and a new Macbook Pro using Sonoma 14.6.1. My iMessages are synced through iCloud on all my Apple devices. As of last week, group conversations on my MacBook are splitting into multiple threads. When I create a group text, the replies come back separately. This is not happening on my phone, just on my laptop.

This is what's been happening to me (also within the month of Dec. 2024) -- I have a "Fam" chat, all iphones, and for some reason my messages suddenly started making a new chat to my other family members. When I'm on my phone, I only see the one chat within Messages, but when text notifications come in it does show the two separate chats (one with the Fam name, one with no name just all the group members). These two separate groups also show up on my Mac. My sister is getting very frustrated with me but I have no way to make this stop happening lol, because all my messages are being sent from my phone where it looks like it's all the same chat!
I will try the re-naming the new branch on my computer to the same name as the regular Fam group like another user mentioned earlier this month, and hope that fixes things *fingers crossed*
