Forward option missing on iMessage

I’ve been receiving a lot of spam/fraud texts recently, and want to forward them to 7726 to report them. I don’t want to open the message, but when I long press on the message the “more” option is missing (just have Pin/Delete/Mark as Read). Does anyone know how to fix this?

I’m on iOS 18.5 and have a 15 Pro

iPhone 15 Pro, iOS 18

You have to open the message, hold down on the text - more - which adds a blue check mark to the text - then click on the arrow at the bottom right to forward the message.
