Here's how it works

Messages in iCloud are updated automatically, so you always have the same view everywhere you use iMessage. When you delete a message, photo, or conversation on one device, it’s removed from all of your devices. And since all of your attachments are stored in iCloud, you can save space on your device.

You can use Messages in iCloud on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Apple Watch, and Mac. For your privacy, Messages in iCloud is end-to-end encrypted,* which means you can't view or access Messages online via browser.

Oct 12, 2011 Question: Q: iMessage using iCloud email and not Phone number I have a friend who's messaging me using iMessage but it's coming from her email address instead of her number. I can text her number in a separate message and it will show up as a text on her side, but when she responds back it sends it as an iMessage from her email.

  2. An Apple ID is used for both iMessage and iCloud. On your iOS device, go to Settings Your Name and see what the Apple ID is at the top of the screen. From there, go to Settings Messages Send & Receive and see what Apple ID is signed in. If it’s the same, you’re signed into just one account and you don’t need to make any changes.
