Text message forwarding option no longer available

since upgrading to the latest 11.4 thr “text message forwarding“ option is no longer available.

i already read through all,of the posts and solutions for this issue and none of them work. So now what is my option??

people keep saying to “log out”of Imessage and log back in. There is no “log out” feature. It’s just a matter of moving the iMessage toggle button from on to off.

so what is my next option? I still receive iMessages on both but no longer gettin text messages from those that don’t have an iPhone.

Help!!

iPad, iOS 5.1.1

Look on your phone and make sure your iPad is still listed under the devices that are allowed to do Text Message Forwarding (Settings -> Messages.)

If it is still enabled, try shutting it off for your iPad and then turning it back on.

Turn iMessages off on all of your devices. Just for kicks, restart them all. Verify that they are all logged into the same Apple ID. Verify they are all connected to data (wifi or cellular). Enable iMessages on your iPhone. Once it's completely enabled, enable it on all of your other devices. Then, on your iPhone, go to Messages. Do you now see Text Message Forwarding? If you don't, I'd suggest resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. It's kind of annoying but it may help resolve the issue.
