messages on macbook and iphone not syncing

Set up iCloud on all your devices

Store messages in iCloud

Thank you! What had happened was that iMessages was not enabled from my Apple ID, just my phone number. I have no clue how that got switched off. Anyway, once I did that I was able to follow your instructions on the text forwarding.

On the iPhone >> Settings >> Messages >> and should like like in picture ( Text Frowarding and make sure the laptop is listed and enabled.

I have done that..still not working. Yes, both devices have been re-started as well. Something with this latest ios update has stopped the 2 devices from talking to each other.

So - your issue was fixed or still more work needed ?
