To forward a text message on an iPhone, follow these steps:
- Open the Messages app and find the conversation containing the message you want to forward.
- Tap and hold the specific message until a menu appears, then select More.
- Select the message(s) you want to forward by tapping the circle next to each.
- Tap the forward arrow icon (usually at the bottom right).
- Enter the recipient's phone number or select a contact.
- Tap Send to forward the message.
This method works for forwarding one or multiple messages, but note that the forwarded message will appear as sent from your number, not the original sender, and the original timestamp is not preserved
. If you want to forward a text message to an email, you can use the same steps but enter the email address in the recipient field instead of a phone number
. For Android devices, the process is similar: open the messaging app, long- press the message, select Forward , choose the recipient, and send
. In summary, forwarding a text message involves selecting the message, choosing the forward option, entering the recipient, and sending it.
