Switched Text Message Forwarding on for the Mac. On iPhone, under “Messages > Text Message Forwarding” the Mac was properly showing as a (switched off) option.On Mac, I marked the box to “Enable Messages in iCloud.”.This time, there was a new option shown to “Enable Messages in iCloud.” So… On Mac, went back to Messages > Preferences, and signed in again.There, under “Apps Using iCloud,” I found that “iMessage” was ‘turned off,’ as in ‘not using iCloud.’ I switched iMessage ON for iCloud usage. On iPhone, went to Settings > “My Name” > iCloud.On iPhone, turned on iMessage (switched it back on).All the above required some “verifications” (authentications) back and forth to get iPhone and Mac logged (/back) into Apple ID / iCloud.While at, I “removed” my Mac from being logged in, so I could force a new login of it.I finally broke down and turned on Two-Factor Authentication at.(Didn’t sign back in until a step shown below.) On Mac, under Messages > Preferences, I signed out of iCloud account.
Code for text message forwarding not showing up on mac pro#
(I have an iPhone XR with up-to-date iOS 12.1.4, and a MacBook Pro (17″) with MacOS High Sierra 10.13.6.) I cannot promise my situation will match yours, or that this will work, but perhaps it will help. None of the “fixes” I found in googling worked for me, but after banging my “sign out/ sign in” fixes around the four walls of my brain, I finally stumbled on a series of actions that worked.
Quite a few folks have been complaining on Apple fora and various websites that they cannot get (SMS) Text Message Forwarding to work again (after it was fine before some update).
