the fact that it doesnt take all messages and sync them is garbage. The whole idea of restoring as new and just syncing messages is out the window
We are talking about what it does when we actually turn it on correct? And more importantly, what is actually put in the cloud? Let's say for example, you had 5 unique texts on your ipad and not on your phone. On your phone you have 10 unique messages not on the ipad. Not important how they became like this, but it is possible, delete from one and not the other etc.
So given the scenario above, you enable messages in icloud. I am fairly positive you will not have 15 messages on each device, but from this point forward, any new messages will be in sync via iCloud.
I have been running beta's since last June, so I have used messages in iCloud as much as I could before and after they turned it on/off/on.

I’m not sure if I like the idea of everything being deleted on all devices. I’ve accidentally deleted a thread on one device and luckily, it was still on all the others. I do like the idea of setting up a device as new and having all the messages sync to the device though. I’ll need to way the pro’s and con’s before I activate it
Not for everyone, but this is the one thing I LOVE about it. Permanently deleting that discover able trail
