Does anyone know how I can re-trigger a full sync of my messages to iCloud? Something went wrong when I installed b1 of iOS 11.3 and it seems as if the sync got interrupted somehow. I would really appreciate your feedback.
Got a tip for us?

Disable in iCloud settings, restart your phone, enable again. This should trigger a sync. On MacOS there is a button that says "sync now" in message settings. But the only way i know of in iOS is to disable, restart and enable again.
A 'SYNC NOW' button has re-appeared in the latest MAC OS beta but its yet to re-appear in the IOS BETA like it was in the summer for the 11.0 betas.
Thanks, I will try this. I haven't installed the latest MacOS beta but I will try this on my iPhone 8. Thanks again.

I'm having issues with messages in iCloud at the moment.
Although enabled on my MBP if i delete a message on there it does not delete from my iPad or iPhone. However if i delete on my iPhone or iPad then it deletes everywhere.
I really hope this is not an intended feature as it seems odd. I have reported it as a bug to Apple as on MacOS Beta 1 it worked fine. Since Beta 2 it's been as described above.
I am currently doing a TM backup then going to do a clean install of MacOS to see if that solves the issue. I've tried signing out/in to iCloud on MacOS and disabling/enabling iCloud Messages. But it doesn't solve the issue.

If I had to guess "why", I'd say that it's because to the local device ("your" phone), it's not using cellular data, but data via an external connection. Surely Apple would be able to identify the connection as a personal hotspot vs a wifi connection, but to the local device, all that matters is that you are not using your cellular connection.
Strange. Still get this message every time I open it. I've removed and reinstalled on all three betas to no avail. I've also flipped the switch for FaceID in settings. Stumped.
Oh wow, I have an iPhone 6S+, nine months old and already down to 87% :/

No, only iMessages.
Edit: Sorry, I was told they would not, but apparently SMS sync as well.

Sorry, I don't dare doing this. My messages are the most important thing on my phone. Since the sync didn't complete fully, I can't start fresh. I did a clean install of my "reserv-iphone 8" and then signed in to iCloud. Only a few messages were actually restored... without any attachments. I didn't even see any thumbnails
No. It’s not working in the Beta. Although alarms normally work. This morning it didn’t for me. Much to my wife’s annoyance (I get up at 0400 daily.
)
Its been said that the Apple diags from the genius bar looks at an average over a period of time. Its assumed the built in app would do the same. My 6s (2 +yr) was showing 87% in b2 but shows 88% now. iMazing shows 86%. Seems they are still tweaking it since both the app and iOS are in beta perhaps things will get more consistent closer to release.
I remember not too long ago when they made the public beta available just a few hours later. Now it’s a day in and still nothing
Wait 16 minutes.

Thanks. I was told they didn’t but apparently they do.
This happened on my wife’s iPad Air 2 and 6 Plus. She uses that app a lot, so had to roll her back to 11.2.6.
Doesn’t happen on my 7 Plus or iPad Pro 10.5.
