Text messages not working in iMac
I just got a new iMac and I cannot text messages to Android users on the Mac. My phone number and Apple ID are correct on the Mac. It works on my phone, just not the Mac. Can you help?

Apple users can send messages to other apple users and not android like apple messages(I tried doing that and I can't send anything to android users with apple messages). You need to use certain messaging software like whatsapp to be able to send massages to android users
Welcome and Thank you too.
Do come back to the ASC Forums, in the future, if / or when additional question may arise
The Very Best in the New Year !
I had an iMac before and just got a new one. On the old iMac I was able to text Android users. Is this a new change?
I don't know since I'm not an expert. Sorry :( You should get a messaging app that support apple devices and android too.
Thank you! I did not have text forwarding enabled to the right Mac.
