Resolved messages app (on Mac) using phone # for texting not working

[ixxx69]

Messages app using phone #, i.e. when texting Android phones, worked fine on my Mac mini, MacBook Air, iPad, etc. (and of course my actual iPhone). No issues texting devices with "green bubbles".

Then I got a new iPhone 15, and being able to exchange texts w/ Android phones no longer works - texts I sent get marked "not delivered", and texts sent to me show up on my new iPhone, but not my Macs.

So far I've tried signing out of the Messages app on all my devices other than my new iPhone. I then tried signing back into the Messages app on one of my Macs, but it still failed to send a text to an Android phone.

Suggestions?

In addition to making sure your phone number is ticked first, make sure your email is ticked as well in messages on the Mac.

Go to “Messages” in the Settings app on the phone, and then “Text Message Forwarding”. Make sure all the devices you want synced are flipped to the on position.

Thanks! That's exactly what was needed. I don't recall that setting, but it's been years since I got a new iPhone so haven't had to set one up in a long while.
