why do I not have the ability to forward a text message
I don't seem to have the ability to forward text messages on my iPhone 12. I am not talking about forwarding it to my other iOS devices. Mostly it's to forward spam to my carrier.

Hello there crtcollector,
If you're seeing spam text messages as iMessages (blue text bubble), you can use the Report Junk option to help report the phishing or spam attempt. However, if they are just SMS/MMS messages (green text bubble), you may need to contact your carrier for additional ways to report them or forward them to your wireless carrier.

We hope this helps get you pointed in the right direction! Take care.

That's it exactly. I contacted my carrier, and they took care of it. Thanks!
You're welcome, we're glad to hear that!
Until next time, take care.
