Well that explains why we are getting a macOS beta and iOS final in the same week.
Which shows that Beta 6 is NOT the same as the final - even if they share a build number.
No mention of messages in iCloud. Delayed again. So lame.
Not sure what phone you have, but my X has been great through iOS 11. I hear of all the issues, but I haven't run into any. Hopefully this update fixes it for ya.
I rather them pull it than it lead to massive headaches.
Agreed. No reason to release the feature if it's not ready. I don't really understand why it's not ready, but I trust the decision.
Yes but then maybe they should stop announcing features they have no idea how to get right in the first place

At this rate iOS 13 after it fails in 11.4 and 12.ximessages in the cloud for iOS 11.4 or 12 then
didnt iMessages in the cloud get removed in macOS beta 7? i dont recall it being in the release notes.
If you recall, it was in iOS 11 betas, but they ran into problems. The only way you realize that issues have occurred is during the beta testing phase. So they pulled it. Good for them. Then it came back in iOS 11.3 and clearly issues still remained - so they are pulling it again.
It probably worked perfectly fine in Alpha stage with less than 100 people using it. One cannot figure out the bugs of software in alpha, it requires beta.
maybe it will be back in 11.4 betas? a couple more months of testing and polishing then good to go?
The whole of icloud works on a “sync” infrastructure. Adding iMessage into that cannot be a whole new thing that would require 10months worth of trying.
I’m sorry but I was really waiting for this.
Absolutely tired of having my watch messages and my phone completely not sync.
And thankfully I held off buying a second HomePod with AirPlay 2 pulled also

I think there is a deep syncing issue. Multiple devices, thousands (if not millions - because people never delete their threads) of messages. Something is probably getting corrupted.

based off this they never promised imessages in the cloud for 11.3 it was just added for testing purposes only really.

Good point. I don’t think we see it til iOS 12.
Then it's very clear that they have to release 11.3 this week, there is no excuse so far
Based on that WWDC video it appears that iMessage is an iCloud should sync all of your iMessage history and not just ones after you turned on iMessages for iCloud which is how I thought it should work so I was really surprised to see during the beta process that it only synced messages after I turn the feature on
