IMESSAGE MMS on macbook Air

Hello pabroon,

Welcome to Apple Support Communities. 

We understand that you want to be able to send MMS messages with iMessage on your Mac. We are happy to help.

If you have forwarded your messages from your iPhone to your Mac or iPad will show on your Mac in the Messages app. Here’s how: Forward SMS/MMS text messages from your iPhone to your Mac or iPad - Apple Support

"Automatically forward texts to your other devices

1. Make sure that you're signed in to iMessage with the same Apple ID on each device:

• iPhone or iPad: Check the Apple ID shown in Settings > Messages > Send & Receive.
• Mac: Open the Messages app, choose Messages > Settings (or Preferences), then click iMessage. Check the Apple ID shown.

2. On your iPhone, go to Settings > Messages > Text Message Forwarding.

If you don't see Text Message Forwarding, go to Settings > Messages. Turn off iMessage, then 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.

3. Choose which devices can send and receive text messages from your iPhone:

4. If you choose a device that isn't 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."

You can use Messages to send group messages to others using only Apple devices in addition to SMS and MMS messages if text message forwarding has been enabled. Here’s how to send messages on your Mac: Use Messages on your Mac - Apple Support

Hey there pabroon,

Hi pabroon,

When your Mac sends SMS and MMS messages, all of them are actually sent through your iPhone. Your Mac doesn't have a cellular connection and isn't capable of sending these messages.

If you're sure these texts can be sent from your iPhone directly and all the settings we've outlined are correct, we recommend contacting Apple Support to continue investigating:
