forwarding texts in messages

I'm not able to forward texts from Messages. I hold the desired message, but no 'More' prompt comes up, only Pin, Mark as Unread, Hide Alerts and Delete.

iPhone 13, iOS 18

No "forward text messages" on ios 17.5.1 I'm reviving a topic that has been addressed unsuccessfully and then DROPPED each time. Husband's Iphone 12 pro, ios 17.5.1 no longer forwards SMS. Other messages are forwarded without this setting being present. On mine, iphone 12 pro max, the setting is there and working. I believe this to be a fairly new problem because it's only recently that sms won't send from Macbook. No need to tell me to check apple ids or turn off messages both on phone and in icloud, etc. All tried and failed.

That's not how you forward a text.

open said message and then hold down on the body of text to get that option.
