Messages were synching fine before I upgraded mac to 12.4. Solution offered elsewhere Messages in iCloud don't sync in Monterey - Apple Community does not work
iPhone > Settings > Messages > Text Message Forwarding
because the "Text Message Forwarding" toggle is no longer there in ios 15.5
Any help would be appreciated.
iPhone 8, iOS 15
If Text Message Forwarding has disappeared from Settings > Messages, try a force restart: Force restart iPhone – Apple Support (AU)
If it still doesn't appear try Apple Support
Oh. SMS - am sorry. Anyway, I just checked my iPhone 11 running iOS 15.5 and found Settings-Messages-Text Message Forwarding is still there.
And FWIW, I checked an original iPhone SE running iOS 15.5 and the setting is also there.
Have you checked if "Enable Messages in iCloud" is checked? (Messages-Preferences on Mac). You can force a SYNC from there also. If it fails, try to SIGN OUT and sign back in.
Yes, thanks, did that, and did it again after your reply to be sure. I should emphasize that I am talking about SMS messages. iMessage messages seem to sync correctly.
This solved it. Very weird to me that "Text Message Forwarding" setting would just missing from my phone. Of course, I did not even know it was supposed to be there.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
