SMS Forwarding is one of several useful functions iOS 8, as this function will synchronize SMS and MMS messages from your iPhone to a Mac running OS X Yosemite. The function only appears in iOS 8.1, which will be released sometime this month alongside OS X Yosemite to the public. Users testing OS X Yosemite Preview aj iOS 8.1 beta, they can also activate SMS Forwarding right now and we will learn how the whole process will be"Continuity" to work on the news.
In order for the SMS function to work Continuity to work, then you have to be on iPhone even on a Mac logged into one iMessage account. A 6-digit numerical code will then appear on the computer screen, which you must rewrite on the screen iPhone, confirming that you are running the SMS Forwarding service on this iPhone. The list of devices that are connected to the function itself Continuity, then you can manage in the Messages settings in the Settings app. It contains a new section with a list of individual devices with a switch. When you decide to deactivate a device and activate it again, you must enter the code again.
I have a question about the battery. iPhone 6. Is it normal that when I look at the battery usage (usage 5 hours, 26 minutes and standby 1 day 4 hours), the Home and Lock screen have taken up 34% (the most) in the last 24 hours? 34%.. What could be causing this?
Motion - parallax?
I will try, thank you..
I don't know, but pairing macbooku (with yosemite) and iphonem(ios8) it worked before version 8.1 and without entering any numbers. Or did I miss something? What good is forwarding anyway? The messages go to the same account anyway and I pick them up on whatever is online and at hand.
Dan Rubin:
Now the advantage is that I will be here for all the news - not only imessage, but all of them - including SMS (that is, even to people who don't have iPhone). Unless I don't want to talk to you on the phoneone and you are at the PC, you can send and write them directly from the PC and, of course, on the phoneone the conversation will also appear.
Anndy – He rather meant that until ios 8 beta It worked normally in 5 and got stuck in the 6th version and didn't return it in the final one. Probably because of this verification and setting.
Anndy, treysand: I'm not on Macbooku also displayed normal SMS messages. But it is true that I have never tried to send a normal SMS message directly from macbookI'll try. Thanks.
If I understand correctly, it will be possible to send "normal SMS" from iPhone but "remotely" from a large computer and a comfortable keyboard...? ProYou can control your mobile phone from your MacBookand..?
HOORAY!!!
I really miss this function for about 12 years...
It was on OSX sometime in 2002 and it was possible to send text messages via PowerBook from any mobile paired via BlueTooth with the AddressBook application.
Then somehow it upgraded and upgraded, Apple he quietly buried her with a lot of other things and now HURRRRAAAA, cheers.
Well yes. So good. Hurrah Apple ! Too bad only the 12 years...
BTW this reminds me of when W95 "invented" the desktop trash…
:P
