iMessage is a feature within the Messages app, denoting messages sent from one Apple device to another. It was initially known as iMessage until 2020 when it became part of the Messages app.

To set up text message forwarding on your Mac, you need to log in to the Messages app and enable Text Message Forwarding. Here's how:

1. Choose the devices you'd like to forward regular messages to.

2. Tap Sign In on the popup asking if you'd like to use your Apple ID for iMessage.

3. Toggle it back on and tap Send & Receive.

If you don't see this option, scroll up and toggle iMessage off. If you still don't see it, skip to step 8.

4. Scroll down and select Text Message Forwarding.

5. On your iPhone, go to Settings > Messages > Text Message Forwarding and toggle it on.

6. Choose the devices you'd like to forward regular messages to.

7. Tap Send & Receive.

That's it! You should now be able to receive iMessages on your Mac. But what about text messages from your Android-using friends? To send and receive text messages on your Mac, follow these steps:

1. Open Messages on your Mac.

2. Sign in with the same Apple ID you used above.

3. Verify which email address you are signed in with.

By following these simple steps, you'll be able to seamlessly connect your iPhone to Mac messages. No more missing conversations or lost threads!
