Apple Messages may not be syncing across devices due to a few common issues. First, ensure that iMessage is enabled on all devices (Settings > Messages > iMessage). Sign in with the same Apple ID on each device (Settings > [Your Name] > iCloud). Check that your devices are connected to Wi-Fi or a stable network. Toggling iMessage off and on or restarting your devices can also help re-establish the sync.
