Text Message Forwarding not showing up in settings Important in cases when the Text Message Forwarding is not showing up in your iPhones settings: in iPhones' Settings/ Messages/ Send & Receive make sure you have your actual phone number selected under " You can receive iMessages to and reply to and reply from", not an email or iCloud account address. In addition you may need to restart your devices and wait few minutes for this settings to take effect and be able to use the text messages forwarding features between your Apple devices.

No "Text Message Forwarding" option even after turning iMessages off & on again I followed the steps on Forward SMS/MMS text messages from your iPhone to your Mac or iPad - Apple Support to try and forward texts to my Mac, but the Text Message Forwarding option still did not show up after doing those steps. (If you can'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.) What's the deal? For reference, I have an iPhone 15 Pro with iOS 17. Please disregard the note that says "iPhone 6, ios 12"

Hi,

Yes, I am using the same apple ID on both Iphones. I am assuming messages can be forwarded to another iphone?
