I have two iPhones - 12 and CE from 2022. They both have the iOS 16.5 and are signed up with one (same on both devices) Apple ID.
The two devices are in different locations. Message backup has been turned on to iClound for both devices.
- no iCloud email
- iCloud backs up both devices
The Apple ID is added in under Settings > Messages > Send/Receive messages.
But the messages do not sync on the iPhone 12. The user uses CD and has a SIM card in it. 12 does not have a SIM card. Just works on WIFI. Can send message to another user from 12 and it shows up correctly to that user.
I expected that the messages would sync to both devices, and would like some process to fix / enable that.
Is this possible?
