    Hi,

     

    For some people the link between iPhone and Mac for text Forwarding (which then actually works in both directions) can break down.

     

    Things to check:-

    1) the iPhone and Mac are still on the same LAN

    2) that the iPhone shows the Mac that should be getting the Forwarded items

     

    If in doubt remove the Mac from the List.

    Quit the Text Forwarding bit then reset so that the Code Number appears on the Mac again.
