Text Forwarding - Not getting the 6 digit verification code on my Macbook Pro M1.

Trying to setup the "text message forwarding" feature on my iPhone 11 pro and cannot get the code.

I am not getting the verification 6 digit code on my Macbook Pro M1 when trying to setup "text message forwarding". Followed all the steps but no code. Any ideas or helpful hints to get the code to appear on my macbook pro?


Many Thanks!

MacBook Pro

Probably you have 2 Factor Authentication enabled.


Simple use the same Apple ID on both devices and enable Text Message forwarding by selecting the device.


  1. Set up text message forwarding
    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.

Hello:


Thanks for the reply. I do not have 2 factor enabled. I have tried probably 6 times and everything is set up correctly. Same login on iPhone as my Macbook. I see the devices. The screen comes up on my iPhone to send verification code to Macbook and no code is sent. restarted both devices, logged out of both then logged back in etc. I have a docking station so unhooked it and just had macbook on its own. Went to notifications and enabled all to be seen. I can transfer photos from iPhone to macbook.


What else can I try?


Thanks for helping with this issue.
