Hey guys, Stephen Coles of Mac here

Now being able to pick up an iMessage conversation that started off on an iPhone right on a Mac
0:10
is a brilliant feature. But problems can occur. Such as iMessages not synchronising across devices
0:16
Sometimes messages sent from an iPhone might not show up on another Apple device such as
0:20
a Mac. Thankfully though, there's a fix. Here's what to do if you're having the same problem
0:24
From your iPhone, head to the settings app and tap through to messages. Once there, swipe down to the section called send and receive and open that with a tap
0:32
You should see all of the phone numbers and email addresses you've registered with your Apple ID
0:36
Tap on each one to check or uncheck them depending on whether you want to use them for messages
0:40
or not. If you wanted it from your Mac, launch messages with a click and then open up preferences
0:45
either in the messages menu or with command comma on your keyboard. Click on the accounts tab at the top and then do the same thing I mentioned previously by
0:52
putting a check by your phone number and any email addresses you checked on your iPhone
0:55
or iPad. Once you've done all that, you might need to restart messages
0:59
Hop into settings on your iPhone and then turn iMessage off with the top toggle switch
1:04
Turn it on again after a few seconds and see if that takes care of things. If all goes well, you'll be starting and continuing iMessage conversations across all your devices
