Check your iCloud settings

  3. Check that the account is set to sync with iCloud or Exchange (if you're using a work or school account).

Check for conflicts with other email accounts

  1. If you have multiple email accounts set up on your devices, try removing one or more accounts to see if it resolves the issue.
