In this lesson for Messages on the iPhone, I look at text message forwarding. With text message forwarding, you can forward your texts your receive on your iPhone to your other Apple devices, such as your Mac or iPad.

In this lesson for Messages on the iPhone, I show you the send and receive settings for Messages on the iPhone. With these send and receive settings, we are setting the different ways people can message us, basically by which email address and phone number, as well as what contact information of our is used when we create a new conversation. See how this all works in my video on the send and receive settings for Messages on the iPhone.
In this lesson for Messages on the Mac, I show you how the general preferences for Messages on the Mac. These preferences include setting how long you want to keep messages, what happens when you close a conversation, notification options for when you receive a message from an unknot contact and if someone mentions your name in a message, sound options, and this is also where you can set the text size of your messages. See how this all works in my video on the general preferences for the Messages app on the Mac.
In this tip for the iPhone, I show how an app can get ‘lost’ on the iPhone. This happens when you tap-and-hold on an app to open it. Once you tap-and-hold on an app for a prolonged period of time, you can move your apps around on your home screen. From there, instead of opening it, I’ve seen people inadvertently drag the app they want to open on to another app, thereby placing it in a folder and ‘losing’ it. In this video, I demonstrate how this happens and what you can do to find the app again.
