iPhone XS Max Messages on Mac Not Working: Troubleshooting Tips

The convenience of sending and receiving messages across multiple devices is one of the most appealing features of Apple's iMessage service. However, sometimes, users may encounter issues with syncing their iPhone XS Max messages to their Mac. If you're experiencing this problem, don't worry; we've got you covered.

To resolve the issue, start by ensuring that your phone number and Apple ID are correctly associated in the 'You can be reached by iMessage at' section. On your iPhone, navigate to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive and verify that both your phone number and Apple ID are listed with a checkmark.

If this doesn't work, you may need to check your settings on both devices to ensure they're signed in with the same Apple ID. Wait for a few minutes and then enable iMessage on both devices. Next, uncheck 'Enable this Account' under your Apple ID, click on Preferences, and choose Accounts.

On your Mac, open the iMessage app and click on Messages in the top menu. On your iPhone, go to Settings > Messages and toggle iMessage off. If you're still unable to sync messages, try turning off iMessage on both devices and then turn it back on.

If none of these steps resolve the issue, you may want to consider using a third-party tool like iTransor to fix the problem. Alternatively, you can try sending a message from the device that's not receiving messages.

By following these troubleshooting tips, you should be able to get your iPhone XS Max messages syncing with your Mac in no time. If you're still experiencing issues, refer to our FAQ on iMessage Not Syncing between Mac and iPhone for further assistance.
