How to Fix iPhone Messages not Syncing with Mac

Part 1. Top 5 solutions to fix iPhone messages not syncing with Mac

The following are some of the most effective solutions to try and fix this problem.

1. Make sure that you’ve Activated iMessages Email Addresses

On your iOS device, go to Settings > Messages> Send & Receive and make sure that under “You Can Be Reached by iMessage at” make sure that the phone number or email address is checked.

2. Turn off iMessage and then turn it back on

If you are sure that you have set up iMessages correctly but are still having syncing issues, simply resetting iMessage can fix the problem.

To do this, go to Settings > Messages and then turn off iMessage on all devices.

On your, Mac click on Messages > Preferences > Accounts and then uncheck “Enable this account” to close Messages.

Wait a few seconds and then enable iMessages again.

3. Confirm Mobile Phone Number with Apple ID

You may also want to ensure that the mobile number and email addresses you use on your account are correct. Go to the Apple website and log in with your Apple ID. Check under “Account” to make sure that you have the correct phone number and email address.

4. Check that iMessage is Set up Correctly

It is possible that you didn’t set up iMessages correctly, and it wouldn’t hurt to check. For your iMessages to sync, you need to sign in with the same Apple ID across all devices. Fortunately, there is a simple way to check.

Simply go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive and make sure that the email address shows up at the top, next to the Apple ID. If it doesn’t, tap on it to sign in with your Apple ID.
