For what its worth, my imessages are synching between my 8+ and iPP 9.7 better than they ever have. Messages are received immediately on both devices and deleting a message on one immediately deletes said message on the other.

Both are running 11.3 beta 6.

Here's hoping it's sooner rather than later, I've been having the "notifications and the time disappears on the lock screen" -bug intermittently this past week. Sure, a reboot fixes it just fine, but still. The release notes say 11.3 fixes it, so bring it on!

So if i have two devices with same icloud account but different iMessage accounts do they still get backedup?

I was assured it would not be this week, guess some people will have an egg on their face in a few minutes. :)

You already created your own thread. You don’t need to post in here too. Your question has been answered.

Again. 11.3 no longer includes iMessage in the cloud. So your question is moot.

Also, already answered. No. Must be same iCloud account with same iMessage account across all devices.

Circumstances have changed. Like the removal of messages in the cloud. That’s why we got another macOS beta.

Erm, nope. Messages in iCloud has not been removed in Beta 7. It still has issues though. If you delete a complete conversation on MacOS it doesn’t delete anywhere else. But if you delete an individual message within that conversation then it deletes everywhere.

Deleting on iPad or iPhone works as intended including deleting on MacOS.

Works fine for me. Just tried it.

Well, sounds like it may have been good for them to pull it as some users are having issues. We shall see.
Edit: And contrary to your experience, if I delete an entire thread on my Mac, it deletes on my phone too. Inconsistent for sure.

It makes sense that 11.3 comes out today otherwise you could have someone who upgraded to the new iPad and is unable to restore their backup from a previous iPad. That would make Apple look extremely bad.

Apple's ios11 page appears to be written as if AirPlay 2 is a current feature. Just has a footnote that says your speaker may need an update depending on manufacturer.

You can restore a backup from a previous iOS, just can’t restore a backup from a more recent iOS than you are using on the device you are restoring. You just have it backwards.

Why? As I just mentioned in another thread. They just download the Beta profile, install the beta then restore from a backup. Apple have worked on the new iPad a lot longer than 11.3. So the two will be ok to work together and apple just need to add the device to list of supported devices.

He's saying that if the iPad was on 11.2.6 then someone who has an 11.3 beta backup couldn't restore. Which is the correct way round. But they would just install the beta first as I mentioned above.

There is no beta - thats the issue. As I just replied to your other post. Apple never released the beta for the X or the new iPad. So how can one install it?

weird that 9to5mac is reporting that the homepod update might be for airplay2 and this has been removed from iOS 11.3
