Just updated my iPhone to iOS 18.2 and my iMac to macOS 15.2.
and now my iMac will not send or receive RCS text to Android phones.
My iPhone works OK.
How can I get my iPhone to forward RCS text messages to my iMac.
It use to work OK
I need to find setting to forward my RCS texts to my iMac.
HELP
Mac mini, macOS 15.2
Problem solved.
Had to go to my iPhone sign out of may Apple account, wait, and then sign in again.
Then go go Messages and scroll down till "Text message forwarding" and activate it.
This allowed my iPhone to forward RCS texts to my iMac.
Problem solved.
Apparently, the new software update somehow screwed up my sign in to my Apple account.
I used to work just fine before I updated my iPhone software to iOS 18.2

Thanks for your reply.
I tried that but "Text Message Forwarding" was not an option shown. Not in the list.
I had to sign out and then sign in to get the "Text message Forwarding."
Once it signed out and signed back in , then I did what you suggested and went to "Text Message Forwarding" and checked the iMac I wanted the text messages forwarded to.
Thanks
Uhh, no. Signing out of one's Apple ID is very much a last resort. Massively disruptive and in this case unnecessary.
The real answer here is to do the second step you listed: go to Settings > Messages > Text Message Forwarding and make sure the Mac you want to use is checked.
