How do I link my messages between my Mac and my iPhone?

I had to recently restore my phone and now my messages are not being received on my phone. Is there anyway I can link them again?

MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2010), And iphone 6

Make sure they are both signed into the same account.

You have to make sure all devices are logged into the same Apple ID.


Mac, in Messages: Click Messages > Preferences > Accounts (if your Apple ID is not here click the + to add it)

Make sure "You can be reached for messages at..." has all of your desired contacts checked.


On iOS devices: Settings > Messages > Use Apple ID for Messages > Use the same Apple ID as on your computer. Make sure "iMessage" is checked on.

After you are signed in, tape Send & Receive and make sure all contacts you wish to use for iMessages are enabled, such as phone number and email addresses.
