Can I forward a text message to someone else?

Hi arieslady,

I understand you're trying to forward messages to another person, and I want to help.

If you would like to share a specific message that came in, you can long press the message bubble, and choose More, and the Forward is the arrow in the bottom right.

If you would like your texts to be automatically forwarded because you're not available, this isn't something you can do from your iPhone, and your iMessages will not be forwarded.

To do forward your SMS/MMS messages you would have to check with your carrier for that feature.

If that is what you're trying to do, since iMessages can't be forwarded, you would likely want to turn iMessage off so that you don't miss messages.

Go to Settings > Messages > iMessage, and you can turn iMessage off right there.

Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities.
