Messages Help
Welcome to Messages
It’s easy to stay in touch with your friends. Send text messages, add images and other files, start a video or audio call, and even share your screen.

Text all your friends
If you have an iPhone, you can send SMS texts to anyone with any device, right from Messages on your Mac. When they text you back, you don’t have to jump up to get your iPhone—just reply on your Mac. Choose Messages > Preferences and sign in to iCloud using the same Apple ID that you use on your iPhone. Then set up your iPhone to forward SMS texts to your Mac.
