MacBook Pro is using my email when sending a text but it was never like that until recently. I need help. I use my iPhone & MacBook. When someone texts me it used to go through my MacBook too but now it doesn’t.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.15

Make sure you're logged into the same Apple ID on both devices


On your phone:

go to Settings > Messages > Text Message forwarding and select your MacBook


On your Mac, open messages

Go to: preferences > iMessage and change the start conversations from dropdown.
