Upgrade phone to iOS27 changed my desktop

Since updating phone to iOS27, Desktop will not message Android. I have a small handful of friends using Androids. I updated my iPhone 17 ProMax and watch Ultra 3 to OS27. And now my phone and Mac Studio stopped syncing iMessages. And will not send messages to Android. I can 'try again' all I want, and will not work. I can sent the message on my iPhone, that works. But somehow after my phone system upgrade, the desktop will now work.

Hi there


Please try this


Open Settings on your iPhone 17 Pro Max.

Scroll down and tap Apps, then select Messages.

Tap Text Message Forwarding.

Locate your Mac Studio in the list of devices and toggle the switch ON.

(If it's already toggled on, turn it off, wait 10 seconds, and turn it back on to kickstart the system).
