How to Forward a Text Message

On the iPhone:

Step 1: Click your Messages App.

Step 3: Press and hold the message
Step 4: You will be presented with two options, “Copy” and “More…” Click More.
Step 5: You will see an arrow pointing to the right on the bottom right hand corner of your screen. Click that arrow for that is the forward button.
Step 6: Chose the recipient whom you wish to receive the forwarded message
Step 7: Press send.

Recap: You can also select multiple messages to send by checking the circles that appear to the left of the messages after you press and hold down a message.
