Text Message Forwarding - No Code submitted 4 years ago by [deleted] Turning on Text Message Forwarding on my iPhone 6 says I should type in the code on my Mac — no code appears.

When Apple first announced iOS 8 and its Continuity features, one of the most exciting features was SMS sharing. When this is activated, an iPhone owner will receive text messages on all of his or her Apple devices.

All right, now that you're updated and all signed in, let's enable the feature on your iPhone.
