    No iMessage with some users (they have iPhones)

    Is anybody else seeing this? As of about 4 PM EDT today I have been seeing issues with Messages on macOS 10.15.4. People I know to have iPhones are messaged via SMS from my Mac (with Text Message Forwarding turned on my iPhone). To others I can send iMessages without incident. It’s either a bug...

    iPad iPad SMS will not send. (Message to iDevices users ok)

    Someone else pointed this out and I tried this on iPad. If I attempt to send SMS via iPad 13.1, - a NON-iPhone/ Apple user - the message will hang for 5-10 minutes, eventually I'll receive a "No Delivered." However, I did not have this issue with iPhone (running 13.1)

    iPhone X How to save text message conversion from my iPhone?

    I have the latest version of iOS installed on my iPhone. I need to save a text message conversation from it (including who said what and dates & time.) How do I do that? PS. A phone that costs $1,000+ must have a way to do this simple task, don't you think?

    Why won't non-iOS device sent text messages delete on Watch when deleted on iPhone?

    Any idea why Apple hasn't added this fully message sync to the Watch? Standard (non-iOS sent) SMS messages just pile up on the Watch and need to be removed manually one at a time.

    SMS on WiFi only

    I decided that since hot spots were working so well now that I could go back to a WiFi only iPad, and purchased the new 12" Pro WiFi model. Sometimes I get SMS from non-iOS contacts, and sometimes I don't. And I can never send them, even though I can on my Mac, and used to be able to two iPads...

    iPhone Text message forwarding not working in iOS 12

    Ever since activating my iPhone XS, I either no longer receive SMS messages on my iPad or Mac, or they come in several hours delayed. This problem either began when I first installed iOS 12 on my iPhone 6S, or possibly a few days later when I activated my iPhone XS. I have now upgraded to 12.0.1...

    iPhone Downloading SMS / Messages to a pdf or text file

    All I want to do is download a conversation of iMessages into a text file from my iPhone onto a PC. Does anyone know of a free way to do that? Actually Apple should provide a utility to do that, I shouldn't need to buy a third party utility to do it. Many thanks in advance
