Forward iMessage and SMS Text Messages on iPhone

The steps to forward Text Messages on iPhone are practically the same, both for iMessages that use Apple servers and SMS Text Messages that use the Carriers network.

However, forwarding Messages on iPhone is not like forwarding an email, where both Message body and details of the original sender are included in the forwarded Message.

When you forward a Message on iPhone, only the Message body is included in the forwarded message, the Name and Contact information of the original sender is not included.

For example, if you forward a Message from “Jim” reading “The Sunday Meetup has been cancelled”, then only the Message (The Sunday Meetup has been cancelled) is forwarded.

The forwarded Message basically appears like you wrote the Message yourself. Hence, it is important to notify the other person that you are forwarding a Message from someone else.
