Can receive texts on MacBook Air but cannot send them

I can receive texts on Messenger on my MacBook Air, but I cannot send. This just started happening. I can send and receive on my iPhone. I have done all of the recommended things. Anyone have any ideas?


MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.6

Hello Jlause,


We would ensure you're running the latest version of Monterey for any fixes: Update macOS on Mac


And that you've followed these steps to forward your text messages from your iPhone to Mac: Forward SMS/MMS text messages from your iPhone to your Mac or iPad


On your iPhone, go to Settings > Messages > Text Message Forwarding, is your Mac listed here? If not, make sure it is enabled.


Let us know if this helps out.


Take care.
