So I have a Samsung s21 ultra phone but I recently got a MacBook air and sent a text to a friend who has an iPhone. When they responded to the text, my phone didn't receive it but the mac continues to. How would I fix this? Or is this irreversible?
MacBook Air (2020 or later)
iPhone to Mac uses iMessage, a proprietary Apple service designed to work exclusively with Apple devices. Your Samsung phone cannot use iMessage, but it can communicate with iPhones using SMS / MMS text messages, just like any other phone.

"You can also set up your other Apple devices to send and receive messages from any Apple device."
... the important part being Apple devices.
