Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

Message app on iMac does not receive all messages, especially those from new contacts, ie. a company texting me a security code. On my old iMac I received these and could quickly apply them rather than copying from my phone.

Is there a setting I need to use in order to receive text messages from new phone numbers?

I used to receive all texts on my iMac rather than just on my phone.

iMac 27″, macOS 12.6
