There can be a number of reasons why your iPhone and Mac texts are not syncing. First, make sure that your Mac and iPhone are both signed into the same iCloud account, as this is necessary for them to be linked together.
If the devices are on the same iCloud account, the next step is to make sure that your phone’s iMessage is enabled. You can check this by going to Settings > Messages and making sure that the iMessage toggle and Apple ID listed is correct.
You can also try toggling off iMessage and setting it back on.
If iMessage is enabled and your Mac and iPhone are on the same iCloud account, you can try logging out of iMessage and logging back in with your Apple ID. This can be done on both your iPhone and Mac by going to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive and logging out and back in.
If all of these steps don’t work, you can try resetting the sync data between your iPhone and your Mac. To do this, go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive on your iPhone, and deselect the email addresses and phone numbers that are used to send and receive messages.
Then, on your Mac, go to Messages > Preferences > Accounts > iMessage, then deselect the same email addresses and phone numbers used to send and receive messages. Last, toggle off and on both iCloud accounts signed in to your Mac and iPhone.
Finally, you can also try to reset network settings on your iPhone, which can be done by going to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.

Why can’t I see Imessages on iCloud?
The main reason why you may not be able to see iMessages in iCloud is because you need to enable two-factor authentication in order to use Messages in iCloud. Two-factor authentication adds an extra layer of security to your Apple ID that requires both your password and verification from another device before you can access your messages.
To enable two-factor authentication, go to your Apple ID account page, click “Edit” under Security, and click “Turn on Two-factor Authentication”. Once it’s enabled, you will be able to access your iMessages in iCloud and will be able to view and access them from multiple devices.
Additionally, you need to make sure that Messages in iCloud is also enabled in the Settings app. Open Settings, select your name, then select “iCloud” and make sure that Messages is toggled on. Once enabled, all messages across all your Apple devices will be synced, stored, and updated on iCloud.
Why am I not receiving all texts on my iPhone?
There could be a few possible reasons for you not receiving all texts on your iPhone.
First, check that the sender is not blocking you. It’s possible that the sender has blocked you from seeing their texts. You can try contacting them to see if that’s the case.
Second, make sure that your iMessage is turned on. If iMessage is off, your iPhone will receive texts using your cellular network rather than Wi-Fi, and you may need to pay for each text message you receive.
To check if iMessage is on, open the Settings app, tap Messages, and turn the iMessage toggle switch on.
Third, make sure that your cellular data or Wi-Fi is turned on. If your iPhone isn’t connected to a network, it won’t be able to receive texts. Often your iPhone will let you know when it isn’t connected to a network by displaying a warning in the Status Bar, but it’s always worth double-checking the Settings app to make sure your Wi-Fi and/or cellular data are both switched on.
Finally, ensure that your Messages settings are set to both receive and send messages. To check this, open the Settings app, tap Messages and make sure that your Send and Receive settings are set correctly.
If you’ve checked all of these steps and you’re still not receiving texts, contact your carrier as it’s possible that there’s a problem with your account.
