Messages not syncing to iCloud I have an iPhone 14 pro max. Messages will not sync and back up to iCloud. I talked to technical support and they noted it is a problem a lot of people are having. I have the latest update and it is still not working. When will this be resolved?

Messages not syncing from iCloud to iPhone 15 Pro I just set up my new IPhone 15 Pro and restored it from an iCloud backup from my previous iPhone 12 Pro. As everything was loading, I noticed that only my messages from one month ago to the present synced into my Messages app. I have messages dating back years (2017-2023) that have not synced. I have the setting turned on to sync all messages to iCloud across all devices and I have turned it on and off, signed out and signed back in to my iCloud account, and restarted the phone. None of these methods are working to get all my messages to sync onto the new iPhone. What else can I do?

Hello jeanene146,

Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

If you have tried the steps here: Use Messages in iCloud - Apple Support to turn on Messages in iCloud, try restarting your iPhone to see if your messages update. If the issue persists, Contact Apple for support and service.

Cheers.
