I have Messages set up on a Mac (M1 Mini With latest SW), an iPhone, and an iPad. I only get about half the messages sent to me on the Mac, while they pop up immediately on my iOS devices. I’ve tried logging out and back in, and have checked that the same numbers and emails are associated with each device. It used to work great. Anyone else getting this (or solving it?)
Thanks!

Is the slider for the Mac in the ON position in iPhone Settings > Messages > Text Message Forwarding?

I have the same issue in my new Studio. I used to receive Messages on my old Mac without issue.
I just checked the sliders as you suggested and to my surprise all the sliders were all in the off position! I didn’t do this , so wondering how that setting got changed. Turned all on now and am optimistic that Messages will be received everywhere!
THANKS!

UPDATE: Working!
