My desktop messenger does not receive any verification text messages. I have tried from 10 different websites/sources, from google to turbo tax. My iPhone receives the text but not messenger on my desktop.
MacBook Pro (2020 and later)
Hi there satganga,
If you are not receiving SMS/MMS text messages, make sure you have text message forwarding set up using these steps:
1. On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. On your Mac, open Messages, choose Messages > Preferences, then click iMessage. Make sure that you're signed in to iMessage with the same Apple ID on all your devices.
2. On your iPhone, go to Settings > Messages > Text Message Forwarding.
3. Choose which devices can send and receive text messages from your iPhone. If you're not using two-factor authentication for your Apple ID, a verification code appears on each of your other devices: enter that code on your iPhone.
As long as your iPhone is turned on and connected to Wi-Fi or a cellular network, new SMS/MMS texts can be sent and received on the devices that you added.
This information is found here: How to forward SMS/MMS text messages from your iPhone to your iPad, iPod touch or Mac
If you are still not receiving SMS/MMS messages on your Mac, then let us know if you are able to send and receive iMessages without issue and we will move forward from there.
Cheers!
