10.13.5 today?

from what I have noticed it uploads all your messages from all your devices, in my case iPhone and iPad, and then downloads the missing messages to the device they are missing from so you start with all your messages on all your devices

you can then delete the ones you don't want and it will update your master in the iCloud so if you add another device ie a Mac it will upload the messages on it to the cloud and then force download them to you iPhone/ipad and also download the master to the Mac

hope that makes sense

That’s the way it’s SUPPOSED to work and so far it has but it shows my messages are taking up 12.3GB on the cloud which is way more than I ever had saved so I’m not sure what’s going on and under “Manage iCloud Storage” > “Messages” it only shows some of my conversation, not all of them.

The Master? That's really going to be the cloud.

or

Which ever device you are using at the moment when deleting. For me, the whole point is to be able to permanently delete it from all devices at once, regardless of which device your using at the moment.

I think you misunderstood, but @jon8214 seems to have got a grasp of what I was thinking of.

Still no 10.13.5, yet Apple support shows how to turn on Messages in iCloud for Mac as if it had been released.

Is it true iCloud sync won't work with Apple Watch?

Seems to me a good hint as to why the release hasn't occurred.

Not at all. It makes sense that Apple would remove documentation referring to the delayed 10.13.5, otherwise the support load will go up with people calling to find out why they don't have the iCloud option on their Mac when they're already running the latest OS.

That I understand, clearly the release was imminent, and the feature was to be included then so Apple took that risk anyway by releasing the documentation before the software.

But now the documentation has gone and the release isn't anywhere to be seen either...

Still seems unprofessional to 'back-date' your edits, i.e. to make a change on the 31st and date the page the 30th.
 
Someone found a nasty network bug at the very last minute, and they're going to fix it before release?
Good thing Apple doesn't do major DVD releases anymore.
 
I wonder what's the purpose of journalists working at tech sites such as Macrumors if they can't find what happened to 10.13.5.

Must indeed be some last minute bug, but appearently the people at Apple are not leaking any info. Unless nobody gives a s*t about Macos anymore.

As someone mentioned, if there's a new Mac coming there should be code in 10.13.6 beta 1 as well. Next week is all about 10.14.
 
They discovered at the last minute that 10.13.5 accidentally permitted installation on computers that Apple wants to remain abandoned.

You know... the ones that work fine when you edit the permitted list.

Hey... who snuck that line in there. Fire them and stop the release.
