Mac-to-Android texting with the Messages app is broken for me, as of macOS and iOS 26.5
I'm just curious to know if other users have experienced this, before I go to extreme troubleshooting steps.
I can send direct from the iPhone, but the forwarding from the Mac feature is broken for messages destined for Android devices.
I spent a couple hours on the phone with Apple Support and did extensive troubleshooting, and they finally told me I should reinstall macOS. Seems pretty extreme, to me.

If you try to text an Android number from your Mac and the "Send" button is grayed out or the message fails, it usually means a setting called Text Message Forwarding is turned off on your iPhone.
