How to get Messages to load all messages from my iPhone

[bingefeller]

I got a new MacBook Air today and have it all set up, although I noticed that the Messages app hasn't loaded all the messages from my iPhone 6s. Is there anyway I can get it to do this?

I have my Apple ID enabled in Messages.
I have "You can be reached for messages at:" then I have my email address and mobile number checked.
Google Talk is turned off - I don't use it.

in iCloud "Contacts" is selected. I'm using the same iCloud sign in (a gmail address) for both iPhone and MacBook Air.

Text message forwarding is turned on in my iPhone 6s for my MacBook Air.

Anything that I've missed?

As far as I know, it's only new messages that will transfer from one to the other. For the old messages you could try this:

Ahh so that explains it. I'll just leave it as is - thanks.
