Auto forwarding texts to a different Apple ID phone

I have two phones: work phone/personal phone. They have separate apple ids. Is there a way to forward messages from my work phone to my personal phone?

iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 11

Text forwarding on Mac I have an iPhone 11 and I am trying to turn on text forwarding on my iPhone so I may send and receive messages from both my Mac and iPhone. I have two appleIDs and I accidentally turned on text message forwarding on the one I don’t currently use anymore and for some reason can no longer turn it on The id I want to use. I have tried restarting both devices and re logging in but nothing seems to work. The text forwarding option never shows up on the account I’m actually trying to use Yet it always appears on my other account. I have tried disabling iMessage and turning off text forwarding on the account in no longer using but the option is still not showing up on my current account. What can I do to enable the Text message forwarding prompt to appear on the account I want to link it to instead of my old one?

Getting and sending phone text messages on both my iPhone and my Macbook pro My iPhone and my MacBook Pro are networked to share, and when I want to send someone a phone text I can do it from my MacBook but ONLY if the person I am texting with has an iPhone. If they don't have an iPhone, if it is an Android, I can only text by using my iPhone and it does not sync to my messages on the Mac the way the iPhone users' texts do. My question is: Is there any way I can make the texts from and to non-iPhone users also sync to my Macbook? (when I am home it is much easier to type a text on my Mac) Is there a setting I can set?

Hi there, unfortunately not. Message forwarding only works with devices linked to the same Apple ID.

Years ago this was possible but Apple removed it.
