If you upgraded to macOS 10.13.5 on Friday, you got a really useful feature that allows you to store messages in iCloud. What that means is that if you receive a message on one device, it shows up everywhere for that account. If you delete a message on one device, it goes away on (almost) every device.

Here’s how you enable it:

1. Update your Mac to macOS 10.13.5
2. Open Messages
3. Choose the Messages menu and Preferences
4. Click Accounts
