What is going on with iMessage from Mac Book Air to android users?

I have been communicating via my lap top in iMessages forever to any one and all, in the last few weeks, any android users I reply to do not send. I have checked all the settings and made sure of the forwarding, blah, blah, blah, it simply ISN'T WORKING! Does anyone have a fix for this? It is pretty annoying to be working and responding to people and messages to Apple users only going through!

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 14.0

If you had been using the Messages app on your Mac to send text (SMS / MMS) messages using your iPhone, check your iPhone and Mac for the correct settings. That's all there is to it.
