Smart SMS/Text forwarding on iphone 13 pro

Searching on the web it I only found an instruction to go SETTINGS->MESSAGES->TEXT. I am currently using an iphone 13 pro w/ IOS 15.6.1 . I am wondering if someone can advice if it is still possible to auto forward a specific incoming message to another iphone.


Thanks in advance

Hello spirit of tobi,


Thank you for reaching out to Apple Support Communities, and we'll be happy to help in any way we can. We understand you're having issues with text frowarding on your iPhone. Check out the helpful steps here to see if they resolve the issue: How to forward SMS/MMS text messages from your iPhone to your iPad, iPod touch or Mac - Apple Support


"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.

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.

iCloud now keeps your entire messages history updated and available on all your devices — even when you set up a new device. Learn how to keep all your messages in iCloud.

* Don't see the Text Message Forwarding setting on your iPhone? Go to Settings > Messages, turn off iMessage, turn it back on, tap Send & Receive, tap Use Your Apple ID for iMessage, then sign in with the same Apple ID used on your other devices.


Forward older text messages

  1. Touch and hold the message bubble that you want to forward, then tap More.
  2. Select any other text messages that you want to forward. 
  3. Tap Forward  and enter a recipient. 
  4. Tap Send ."


We hope this helps.


Cheers!
