I went tohttps://messages.google.com/web as instructed on the app, and scan the QR code. It says "Incorrect Code". Maybe, it's because I'm not on the original phone.
I don't think that's the issue. I've only used Messages with my current phone, but the messages go back to April 2014, when I had my first smart phone. Also, while I may have, I don't recall scanning a QR code.
There's a bit more info on that QR code here: https://support.google.com/messages/answer/7611075?p=web_computer&visit_id=637244725294859444-1318004800&rd=1 Apparently, it's tied to the computer you're using to read the messages, not the app or phone. "*Note*: The QR code for Messages for web is unique to your computer and pairs the mobile app to that computer. You can pair your Messages account on multiple devices, but only one will be active at a time. When you open Messages for web on a computer, your conversations on any other computers or browser tabs will become inactive."
