How can I sync past messages (from iPhone) on my Mac. (I've set everything up for text message forwarding)

Hi all,

I've got a iPhone 6s and a brand new Mac Book Pro. Have a 200gb iCloud account and want to sync everything.

Unfortunately I can't seem to sync all my messages in iMessage. I've set everything up for Text Message Forwarding and am receiving all new text across the 2 devices.

However: I'd like my Mac to sync all my past messages (on my iPhone) too. Help!

MacBook Pro TouchBar and Touch ID, macOS High Sierra (10.13.3)

Sync Messages between iPhone and Mac Why do some of my messages sync between iPhoneX and MacPro '18 and others don't? Recently had crash and had to have battery replaced, so everything re-set. But now certain messages will not sync between devices. I have messages in iCloud so that's not it.

Syncing text messages between devices I have an iphone, ipad and mac desktop computer. I've read several articles on how to sync text messages across all devices, but it's not working. Messages I delete from one device don't delete from the others, especially the mac. How can I get this fixed?

Messages on my Mac is not synced and up to date with my iPhone I'm having trouble getting my new and old messages to show up on my Mac. I'm on the same iCloud account on both my phone and computer and the best I can do is hit Sync Now, I see the Downloading Messages from iCloud at the bottom of my message app on my computer and then eventually nothing really happens.
