I can't send sms from iMac with Catalina via my iPhone

I clicked the link to send sms for someone and safari asked to allow opening messages and I permitted. I started writing in messages and sent the sms but it didn't go? the progress bar at the top of messages didn't complete to the end and the sms had red exclamation mark? Can you tell me how to fix this problem please?


Thanks,

iMac Line (2012 and Later)
