Here's how it works

Messages in iCloud are updated automatically, so you always have the same view everywhere you use iMessage. When you delete a message, photo, or conversation on one device, it’s removed from all of your devices. And since all of your attachments are stored in iCloud, you can save space on your device.

You can use Messages in iCloud on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Apple Watch, and Mac. For your privacy, Messages in iCloud is end-to-end encrypted,* which means you can't view or access Messages online via browser.

Turn on Messages in iCloud

To turn on Messages in iCloud, make sure that you've set up iCloud and are signed in with the same Apple ID on all your devices. You also need to use two-factor authentication with your Apple ID, and turn on iCloud Keychain.

On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

Turn off Messages in iCloud

When you turn off Messages on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac, you can choose to turn off Messages in iCloud for just that device or all of your devices. Any device where Messages in iCloud is still turned on continues to store what you send and receive from that device in iCloud.

On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

  1. Go to Settings.
  2. Tap [your name] > iCloud.
  3. Turn off Messages.

On your Mac

If you turn off Messages in iCloud on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch your message history will be included in a separate iCloud backup. If you set up an Apple Watch for a family member, Messages in iCloud is the only way to back up messages.

Hey kterry30,


I understand the notifications for Messages aren't appearing on your Mac like they are on your iPhone 11.


Here are a couple of things you can try. Check to see if you have Text Message Forwarding enabled on your iPhone. This will help to keep your iPhone and Mac in sync. This can be found by tapping Settings > Messages. While you are in this window, confirm iMessage is enabled on your iPhone. Here's some more information about this: How to forward SMS/MMS text messages from your iPhone to your iPad, iPod touch or Mac - Apple Support.


On the Mac, open Messages > Preferences. Click the iMessage tab and ensure that you're signed in.


Let us know if the messages on the Mac are still not updating properly.


Have a great day.
