On iPhone:

Settings → Your Name → iCloud → Messages → OFF

→ Choose Disable and Delete (don’t worry — nothing is erased from device)

Restart iPhone.

Now turn it ON again and tap Sync Now.

Let it sit 10–20 minutes plugged in.

➡️ This forces the iPhone to rebuild the Messages database upload.

Most sync failures are fixed here.
