Q: How to auto forward text from iPhone to another iPhone (account)

I Have a (work) iPhone account and I would like to auto forward text messages to my (personal) iPhone account. This way I would not need to carry both phones with me. My work phone is a 6s with IOS 10, and my personal phone is a 6plus with IOS 10. Thanks

iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 10.0.2

You would need to contact your carrier.

This is possible using the SMS feature in Continuity

Use Continuity to connect your Mac, iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Apple Watch - Apple Support

It will be from your phone number on device 1 to your Apple ID on device 2.

LACAllen, I don't believe this will forward SMS messages to another iPhone. Have you been able to do it? I'm more than willing to be proved wrong.

No I have not.

Just my (perhaps inaccurate) understanding of how Continuity works.

And, sadly, I only have one iPhone so can't run the test myself.

The above suggestions while I appreciate the input, only work with two iPhones connected to the same cloud. Since my personal account and my work account cannot share the same cloud, this will not work. I have also been looking for apps to help me accomplish this task, but with no success.
Thank you all so much for your support, hopefully someone will be able to help with this problem.

I'd check with your carrier and see if they offer any options.
