My iphone broke and I'm trying to see if I've missed any messages sent to me while it has been broken. Can I view these messages on a mac if I linked it after the imessages would have been received?
Though I'm not an official on the matter, it has been my experience that when linking a new device to your iCloud account it doesn't bring over a history of past messages save for email. With iMessage, your history begins with the first message received on said newly linked device.
