If you have multiple Apple devices and want to forward your text messages from one device to another, the Text Message Forwarding feature is what you need. To enable this feature on your iPhone, first, make sure your devices are signed in to the same Apple ID and connected to the same Wi-Fi network. Then, go to Settings > Messages > Text Message Forwarding, and toggle on the devices you want to forward messages to.
Once you enable Text Message Forwarding, any text messages you receive on your iPhone will also appear on the enabled devices you selected. You can also reply to forwarded messages on the other devices. Keep in mind that the forwarding feature only works for SMS text messages, not iMessages, and both devices need to have iOS 8.1 or later installed.

Why is text message forwarding not showing up in settings?
There could be several reasons why text message forwarding is not showing up in settings. One possibility could be that the device is not registered with iMessage, which is necessary for text message forwarding to work. Another possibility could be that the device is not running the latest version of iOS, as Apple may have released a fix for a bug or issue related to text message forwarding. It is also possible that the device is not properly connected to the same Wi-Fi network as the other devices that are supposed to be forwarding messages. Users can troubleshoot these issues by checking their device’s iMessage settings, updating to the latest version of iOS, and ensuring that their devices are properly connected to Wi-Fi.
