Why can't I send messages on my desktop but I can on my iPhone? For some time now, about ½ the messages I try to send on my desktop Mac, won't send. But when I try to send them on my iPhone, they go through perfectly. On the desktop it says "not delivered" in red and "message send failure." Both units are signed into the same icloud account. I've logged out of it and logged back in, nothing seems to fix it. Help! Monterey 12.4 iOS 15.5
