I specifically have both set to “Start New Conversations” with my phone number, and I think that’s what did it! I don’t remember what the settings were on my iPad before this “broke” a couple of days ago, but when I got into my iPad settings, I could see that my phone number was not set to “Start New Conversations” which made me think that was the problem, so I compared the settings to my iPhone and ensured that my iPad was matching the iPhone settings. Today, I searched online for an answer again, and it led me to this post, for which I’m grateful, because it led me to investigate my settings once more, and I stumbled upon the problem and this is what fixed it for me! Rebooted iPhone and iPad throughout all this in many different combinations (while sometimes leaving things off before restarting, and reenabling them after reboot, etc.).
#Mac text messages not forwarding code
However, I didn’t notice until later that my iPad could no longer send or receive my SMS messages (iMessage was fine). Hmm I wonder why? Planned Obsolescence perhaps?).Īnyway, when I saw that message, I restarted my iPhone, and it was functional. It started with my iPhone “acting” weird (smartphones be acting stupid!) telling me that No SIM was installed, which was bullcrap (in my experience, phones start “acting” this way at the 1.5 to 2 year mark. If Messages is not running on my Mac Mini, then selecting the Mac Mini in the Text Message Forwarding settings on my iPhone will start the program, but no code. This just happened to me the other day, not initiated by anything I did. My Mac Mini, running El Capitan, and my iPhone 6 Plus are both on the same WiFi network, however when I select the Mac Mini in the Text Message Forwarding settings, it does not send a code to my Mac Mini.
