Hello dppapple,


You can forward a selected message to another recipient using these steps: Forward and share messages on iPhone - Apple Support


You mentioned wanting to edit the message first. To do this, you will need to touch and hold the message bubble, then select copy. When you paste it in a new message, you'll be able to edit the copied message before sending.


Take care.
