No Text Message Forwarding Option
Hi All,
I have just updated my MPA and iPhone 5s to the latest OS X and IOS (8.1) but on the setting>messages there is no text message forwarding option?
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

I have the same problem, no "Text Message Forwarding" option after installing the iOS 8.1 update.
What model is your MacBook?
I Have a MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2012) and an iPhone 5
Both of your devices are supposed for continuity, so you need to go to settings>general>software update and update your software because they just enabled the SMS relay feature with iOS 8.1
I already do that, and thats the problem, after installing the iOS 8.1 update, there is no "Text Message Forwarding" option on my phone.
Ahh, go to settings>messages and there should be a option that says Text Message Forwarding. Click on that and it will show devices that can be enabled.
Ok, I found the problem. My phone was using only my phone number for iMessage. I login to iMessage with my Apple ID and now i got the "Text Message Forwarding" option.
Now its working.
Thanks!
Good! Glad I could help!
I am having the same problem. I have iOS 8.0.2 and a brand new iMac running OS 10.10 Yosemite. On my iPhone 6, I selected Settings/Messages/ iMessage is on and there is absolutely NO option for text forwarding on this screen. So I am unable to text to non iMessage phones via SMS on my iMac. Any reason why this is the case?
Simple, in iOS 8.0.2 the feature was not yet enabled. All you have to do is update your iPhone to iOS 8.1 and that should fix your issue
Drew, first you have to update to iOS version 8.1 on your iPhone. Then be sure you are logged in to iMessage using the same Apple ID on both, the Mac and the iPhone.
This way it should work.
Thanks! I just had a "duh" moment. I should have known that. I appreciate your help!
just went through the thread for the same problem. My " text message forwarding " option wasnt being displayed either even though having updated the phone and everything. The suggestion to add your email to iMessage send/receive worked. I had only my phone number registered to send/receive imessages but after signing in with my apple ID and resgistering my email it worked. Thanks a bunch!
