Use Messages in iCloud

iCloud keeps your entire message history updated and available on all your devices, even when you set up a brand-new device.

Here’s how it works

Messages in iCloud are updated automatically, so you always have the same view everywhere you use iMessage. When you delete a message, photo, or conversation on one device, it’s removed from all of your devices. And since all of your attachments are stored in iCloud, you can save space on your device.

You can use Messages in iCloud on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Apple Watch, and Mac. For your privacy, Messages in iCloud is end-to-end encrypted,* which means you can’t view or access Messages online via browser.

Turn on Messages in iCloud

To turn on Messages in iCloud, make sure that you’ve set up iCloud and are signed in with the same Apple ID on all your devices. You also need to use two-factor authentication with your Apple ID, and turn on iCloud Keychain.

On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

1. Go to Settings.
2. Tap [your name].
3. Tap iCloud.
4. Turn on Messages.

On your Mac

1. Open Messages.
2. In the menu bar, choose Messages > Preferences.
3. Click iMessage.
4. Select the checkbox next to Enable Messages in iCloud.

Turn off Messages in iCloud

When you turn off Messages on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac, you can choose to turn off Messages in iCloud for just that device or all of your devices. Any device where Messages in iCloud is still turned on continues to store what you send and receive from that device in iCloud.

On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

1. Go to Settings.
2. Tap [your name] > iCloud.
3. Turn off Messages.

On your Mac

1. Open Messages.
2. In the menu bar, choose Messages > Preferences.
3. Click iMessage.
4. Deselect the checkbox next to Enable Messages in iCloud.

If you turn off Messages in iCloud on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch your message history will be included in a separate iCloud backup. If you set up an Apple Watch for a family member, Messages in iCloud is the only way to back up messages.

Use Shared with You

With iOS 15 and iPadOS 15, content that’s shared with you in the Messages app is automatically organized in a Shared with You section in the corresponding app. Shared with You works with Photos, Safari, News, Music, Podcasts, and the Apple TV app.

Content that’s shared with you is labeled in the corresponding app, so you can see who shared the content with you. With a simple tap on the name, you can easily reply to the share and continue the conversation in Messages.

To disable Automatic Sharing or a certain app from using Shared with You, go to Settings > Messages > Shared with You, and turn off Automatic Sharing or the app.

Pin important conversations

With Messages in iOS 14 and iPadOS 14 and later, you can pin up to nine conversations. When you pin a conversation it shows up at the top of the Messages app, so it’s easy to get to.
