Messages not syncing with iPhone

[scouser75]

Guys, Messages (text messages) I receive don't seem to be received on my Mac. They only come through on my iPhone.

I'm running the latest FW on both devices and using the same iCloud email address and phone number.

Is there a way to resolve this issue?

Did you turn on text message forwarding?

Forward text messages from your iPhone to other devices - Apple Support

With the Text Message Forwarding feature of your iPhone, the SMS, MMS, or RCS messages that you send and receive on your iPhone can also appear on your Mac, iPad, and Apple Vision Pro, so you can continue the conversation from the device you want.

Thanks BigBlur. I've just turned it on.

So, a couple of messages that d9dnt show on my mac (but we're on my phone) we're from a non Apple device. Does messages on Mac only receive messages from other Apple devices? So no Android etc?

SMS/RCS/MMS messages do work on Macs, so long as you enable the option you've replied to. Since those are messages sent directly from your carrier, only your phone can receive then. After that, if you enable the forwarding option, it can forward them to your Mac/iPad/iPod touch.
