I’m very glad Apple’s Messages team somehow snuck this one little button past the corporate bureaucracy (Apple infamously likes to pretend their software is infallible and therefore doesn’t need things like useful error messages or rectification tools).

It’s of course not great that iMessages don’t reliably sync between Apple devices to begin with, but at least there’s a simple way to fix that when it occurs.

In case you’re unfamiliar with it, this button is in the “iMessage” tab of the Messages Settings – although placed dangerously close to the “Sign Out” button. 🤨
