Mac - Will be included in 10.13.5 which should be released any time now.

Watch - I’m sure at some point, yes.

I just edited my post. I thought it was released today but I could be wrong. I haven’t opened up my Mac yet.

 

[samduffy]

That’s good to hear. All I have is a an iPhone & MBP, so I have to wait for the Mac update to be released to see how it works.

I received the iTunes update also. The Mac update hasn’t been released yet.

yeah. what changed in the iTunes update i didn't notice anything

 

[samduffy]

ah right i have an iPad iPhone and mac and between iPad and iPhone it works great delete on either device it disappears from both

“Minor app and performance improvements” is what the update said. Specifically, I’m not sure.

That’s awesome!

yeah it works well. why they didn't include the watch for it too is strange hopefully soon. on their website it says iPad phone and mac. perhaps they think on the watch not many people care as they rarely send texts off it. or views texts off it but still would be nice. I hope they change the layout to itunes to have it identical to the music app on iOS or even have a seperate iTunes app like iOS

The only update I've received for my MacBook Pro today was iTunes v12.7.5. Other than that, there isn't an awaiting macOS update thus far, and I've been checking periodically since around 1 PM EDT this afternoon.

 

[samduffy]

yeah same with me. Hopefully today sometime. Any word on the watch coming

Yep...I verified the same thing. Idk why I thought it was out! Hopefully any day now.

I thought it was too. So many people are having problems with messages in the cloud some messages weren’t shown on new devices. I think I found out why (I think ) Craig fedherigi said only older messages will be stored on the cloud newer messages are stored locally cached on the device but that could be completely wrong

That’s possible!! I haven’t really looked into it yet...it’s been a crazy week!! I’m hoping to do some digging this weekend.

 

[samduffy]

Thanks. Is there a way to know if and when messages are uploading

You’re welcome & I’m honestly not sure yet. I’m assuming it works like photos do. As soon as you’re on WiFi, it uploads to the cloud.

 

[samduffy]

Yeah there’s no loading bar though in messages hopefully it does
