iOS 11.4 comes with a new feature that the company Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), he launched it a year after he presented it to everyone and promised to launch it last fall, but here he is offering it only at this moment. I'm talking about the function Messages in iCloudor Messages in iCloud, allowing the synchronization of messages from the application Messages, Posts, in any of the iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches logged in with the same Apple ID for iCloud.
To activate this function of iOS 11.4 on iPhone and iPad you will have to do the following steps:
- Update to iOS 11.4.
- Activate 2-step authentication for your Apple ID via appleid.apple.com.
- Open the application Settings, Configurations.
- Access the iCloud menu by clicking on the section at the top of the application Settings, Configurations.
- Now access the iCloud section.
- Make sure the option Messages be active.
How do Messages work in iCloud?
When you received a new message in iOS 11.4 with the function Messages in iCloud, Messages in iCloud, activate, it will be synchronized and displayed automatically in the application Messages, from all iDevices logged into iCloud with the same Apple ID. The same procedure is also valid for deleted messages, they immediately disappear from all iDevices, so you can have total and quick control over the conversations on any of your iDevices, all thanks to Apple's iCloud infrastructure.
iOS 11.4 brings this function only now because Apple tested it for a long time on iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch, offering it even in the beta versions of iOS 11.3, but unfortunately it was not prepared well enough to be offered. Apple has still managed to complete development for iOS 11.4, so now anyone can use it, but if you use the same Apple ID on iDevices used by different people, you'd better avoid the feature, because messages will appear, or disappearance, for everyone.
