iMore Question

How do I transfer my iMessage history from my MacBook to my iphone? Is there a way? I had to restore my iphone from an old backup and now I am missing about 2 months of conversations on my phone that are still on the laptop.

Welcome to iMore!!!

You might have to turn iMessage off and back on. I remember having to do this in order to get both to sync together. Also when you turn iMessage back on on your iPhone remember to go to Settings > Messages > Message History and make sure "Forever" is selected.
