Hi dawoz,
I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with the new Continuity features in iOS 8. If you are receiving each other's text messages in Messages, you may need to go into the settings and check to see which entries are listed for You Can Be Reached By and Text Message Forwarding, as described in the following article:
To use Continuity for SMS and MMS with your iPhone and your Mac, iPad or iPod touch
- Your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch need to use iOS 8.1, and your Mac needs to use OS X Yosemite.
- Sign in to iMessage on your iPhone, your other iOS devices, and your Mac using the same Apple ID.
- On your iPhone:
- Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > You Can Be Reached By, and add a check to both your phone number and email address.
- Go to Messages > Text Message Forwarding, and enable the device(s) you would like to forward messages to.
- Your Mac, iPad, or iPod touch will display a code. Enter this code on your iPhone to verify the SMS feature.
Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity - Apple Support
Regards,
- Brenden
