How come I can't see my recent messages from my MAC Messaging. Its not showing my recent conversations. How do I fix that?

My recent conversations on my iMessaging from my phone are not up to date with Mac's Message. How do I fix that I can view the same conversations from my phone to the Mac?

I have the same problem and it definitely DOES NOT do it for me. It is incredibly annoying as, for example, messages that have been read and replied to on my iPhone, the moment I turn my MacBook on, they pop up as dozens of notifications as you would get with new messages. Not to mention the fact that deleted conversations I've had on my iPhone, pop up as well like new ones the moment I turned on my MacBook. Why, for Pete's sake, is it so hard for Apple to apply real-time sync of conversations??

Howdy thaivo18!

It sounds like the Messages application on your Mac isn't showing your most recent conversation. I know it's important to stay up to date with messages. You're in the right spot for help!

One possible answer here is that your Mac is no longer signed into your iMessage account. To check if this solves your issue, follow these steps:
  1. On your iPhone, tap Settings > Messages. Check that iMessage is on. You might need to wait for it to activate.
  2. Tap Send & Receive. If you see “Use your Apple ID for iMessage,” tap it and sign in with your Apple ID. This should be the same Apple ID that you use on your iPad, iPod touch, or Mac.
  3. Under “You can be reached by iMessage at,” make sure that there are checkmarks beside your phone number and Apple ID.
Add or remove your phone number in iMessage or FaceTime on your iPad, iPod touch, or Mac


Cheers!
