Hi, Hmmm. Just to add to the other side of the coin. Other than sometimes being slow to sync, mine works as it should. Even complicated scenarios. For example, while I was in England through July, I used an EE sim card and thus a UK phone number. This new number automatically added to my Apple ID, and I initiated past conversations so that folks would have my UK number in case they needed to contact me. All conversations, whether individual or multiple group style conversation, re-synced themselves so that I maintained the same threads. Upon my return to Canada, I put my Telus sim card back in my iPhone and had a challenge for for the rest of the day as one of my group conversations had duplicated. This fixed itself overnight and now everything is back to the way it should be. In the big scheme of things, this scenario was fairly complicated, and the Messages iCloud syncing process worked. My messages are also set to keep things forever and back conversations are fine. So, my point is that I don't believe that Apple dropped the ball on this one at all. It works properly for some and others appear to have issues. We just need to figure out the process for clearing up those issues.

All other conversations are still stuck way back in time. They do not update to the newest messages, regardless of what I do. So I don’t consider this to be a working process. I do have my messages set to keep forever on both devices — wonder if that is part of the problem? Intuitively that does not seem correct. History should ensure that all updates are the same on all devices. I think Apple dropped the pie on this one.
