Old messages syncing to ipad w/recent timestamp
Is it possible/is it a known scenario for old imessage/texts from a month ago to sync to an ipad and reflect a recent timestamp? Ipad is used as a wifi hotspot.
I personally have had texts and SMS come in a few hours to a couple of days late - mainly with my prior carrier - happened when I was out of the country and did not use the phone
However your situation does seem somewhat unusual if not unique - not sure if the usage as a hotspot is related
