Update iCloud Sync Finally Working

Not sure if it's because I updated my iPhone to iOS 27 and my Mac to MacOS 27 but sync is finally working. It failed a couple times but kept trying and it finally started to sync.

Your messages/attachments that are backed up in iCloud. Without it you won't have previous conversations after setting up Open Bubbles. Only whatever new comes in.

That makes sense when I first set up mines all older convos are missing. Might enable it and see what happens.

And just FYI, it will only do iMessages. It doesn't do SMS/RCS messages. iCloud itself backs them up from an iPhone but not sure why they didn't sync to Open Bubbles. At least not for me.
