(basically a proxy service from the phone to icloud that allows SMS messages to be synced as well.
I intended to make a similar post about the device sync was enabled.
The governor isn't the first person caught in a lie. Hillary Clinton's too hard to manage multiple device email argument fell apart when one of her responses used the default sent from my ipad in her email reply. Donald Trump's saner campaign twitter posts were made using the iphone app while Trump posts with the android app on his Samsung phone. A man from Indiana is in prison because his photos with an underage girl were synced to his ipad which his secretary also used.
