Text messages not syncing

Lately when I receive a text on my iPhone, then open Messages on my Mac, it asks me on the Mac to sign in to my Apple account.

The message I received on the iPhone does not display in Messages on the Mac.

This just started a few days ago.

It sounds as if you need to turn on Text Message Forwarding. On your iPhone, go to Settings>Messages>Text Message Forward and select your Mac.

If something else is occurring with your Mac mini, please provide more specifics so that we can further isolate the cause of this behavior.


Take care.
