I can't receive Android texts on my Ipad or Mac since I upgraded my Iphone to XR but I get them on my phone. I used to see Android messages on my Mac and Ipad when I had an Iphone 8. What changed?
iMac 27″ 5K, macOS 12.6
Hi Sdclark1956,
There are two different ways you can get SMS/MMS messages on your iPad and Mac.
2. SMS/MMS message forwarding. This feature does not use iCloud storage, but the message is forwarded to the device(s) you want and from there you can respond to the message. As messages are being pushed through and not synced, you may not get the same experience on each device, meaning that if you delete a message, it might not delete from other devices.
Take care.

Thanks. It's funny I tried both of those actions. It wasn't until I actually logged out of imessage on my Mac and back in AND rebooted my phone that it worked.
Hello Sdclark1956,
Thanks for letting us know and we are happy to hear it is working again.
Reach out if you ever need help in the future.
Cheers!
I have an android phone (Samsung). Is there a way to bring my text messages from my android phone into my ipad?
