Messages (Mail and Texts) do not show Read across devices My devices used to sync read messages across each other. Recently that stopped happening. Now when I read an email or text message on my iPhone it still appears as unread on my Mac. Running IOS 16.3.1 and Mac OS Ventura 13.2.1. I've confirmed that I've turned on iMessage to sync via iCloud.
