My iMessage isn't syncing to my new iPhone - what to do?
Hi! First off, I'm very sorry if there was already a forum made for this.. I could not find anything that worked for me yet. About a month ago, I went from an iPhone 5s to iPhone 8. Verizon told me that my old iPhone would automatically stop working after a while, but just in case I restarted it, put it on airplane mode, and shut it off. With my old phone, however, I used to use iMessage on my laptop very easily, since it connected to my phone via apple ID. However, it now won't sync any messages from my new iPhone. I still have the same apple ID and on my iPhone, I double checked that my apple ID still allowed my messages to be synced through my email. I also went on my iMessage preferences on my laptop and made sure to enable the account and imessages in icloud. I also tried to press the "sync now" button to sync to my icloud. However, nothing has worked! All my messages on my laptop are from my old phone. And I have no idea what to do now. Any help is greatly appreciated!
iPhone 8, iOS 11.4.1
