To enable MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service) messaging on a Mac, you need to set up and use the Messages app with your iPhone that supports SMS/MMS messaging. This process involves using the "Text Message Forwarding" feature that allows your Mac to send and receive SMS and MMS messages through your iPhone. Here's how to do it:
1. Check Requirements:
- Ensure that both your iPhone and Mac are signed in with the same Apple ID.
- Both devices must be connected to Wi-Fi.
- Bluetooth should be turned on for both devices.
- Your iPhone needs to have "Messages" set up and be capable of sending SMS/MMS.
2. Enable Text Message Forwarding on iPhone:
1. Open the "Settings" app on your iPhone.
2. Scroll down and tap on "Messages".
3. Tap on "Text Message Forwarding".
4. You'll see a list of devices associated with your Apple ID. Find your Mac in the list and toggle the switch next to it to the ON position (green).
5. A verification code might appear on your Mac. Enter this code on your iPhone to pair the two devices for messaging.
3. Use Messages on Mac:
- Once you've set up Text Message Forwarding, you can open the "Messages" app on your Mac.
- Any SMS or MMS messages that your iPhone receives will now also appear in the Messages app on your Mac. You can also send SMS/MMS messages from your Mac, and they will be sent through your iPhone.
4. Sending MMS from Mac:
- To send photos, videos, or other multimedia content in a message from your Mac, simply drag the content into the message window or use the "Attach" button (looks like a paperclip) in the Messages app.
