Hi all, I’ve been keeping up with this thread but now I’m a bit confused. My messages on both devices seem to be sinking okay and if I message my wife on my Mac it’ll update on the iPhone and the other way around. However if I delete a message thread on the phone it’ll stay on the Mac and vice versa. Is this normal? Now I know this isn’t normal. I messaged my wife from the Mac early on in the week as my phone was charging in the bedroom and I was making breakfast and my Mac was near by on the dining table. The message went through fine, but a couple of days later I went to message her again using the Mac and the edit field in the messages app still had the first line of text in it from a couple of days before. Even tho the entire message got sent. This has happened quite a few times.
