The only way to fix this issue is to upgrade to iOS 11.4

Read as follows;

HOW TO
Sync All Your Messages with iCloud in iOS 11.4
BY JAKE PETERSON 03/29/2018 7:00 PM
One major problem in previous iOS versions is that there was no way to keep messages in sync between an iPad, iPhone, iPod touch, and Mac. If you deleted a message in the Mac app, it would not be deleted on your iPhone, and vice versa. Apple will be fixing this issue in iOS 11.4 by storing all of the messages in iCloud, not on individual devices.

By storing messages in iCloud, Apple is solving a huge issue. If you wanted to permanently delete a bunch of incriminating messages of your iPhone, you risk having them still reside on your Mac computer since deleting them on an iPhone will not delete them from the Messages app in macOS. Those messages can be hiding everywhere without you even knowing it.

This feature was first introduced at WWDC 2017 last June, and even appeared in an early iOS 11 beta as well as the iOS 11.3 betas, but had disappeared since then. And while this feature is fantastic for keeping Messages across your Apple devices synced, as well as saving you plenty of storage space, it isn't clear yet whether you can sync text messages in addition to iMessages. If not, we at least have an easy way to manage our iMessage threads and histories no matter how many iPhones, iPad, and Macs we may have.

Step 1
Upgrade to iOS 11.4
First things first, your iPhone needs to be running iOS 11.4 in order to take advantage of Messages on iCloud. The update is not currently out yet, but is expected to arrive shortly for developers and public beta testers. If you're running the developer or public beta, you should have access from Settings –> General –> Software Update

Step 2
Enable Two-Factor Authentication
Two-factor authentification is a security measure that uses one of your trusted devices to confirm your identity. In Apple's case, any time you sign in to service that uses two-factor authentication, one of your trusted devices receives a code that you must enter into the device using the service. If you only have one Apple device, that code is sent to that device.

You don't need to enable this security feature before activating Messages on iCloud, as Apple will walk you through the steps when you attempt to activate the new Messages feature (see Step 4 below). However, if you want to preemptively set up two-factor authentication. If you've ever used Apple Pay or Apple Pay Cash, you likely already have this done, since it's also a prerequisite for that.

Mine says the same, but my iMessages are still sending in blue and even with LTE turned off I am still able to send iMessages. I’m guessing it’s just a bug.
