How to Automatically Forward Text Messages to Another Phone or PC on Android

If you use two phones and also want to access the messages received by the first phone on the second, you can consider forwarding them manually. However, one effective way to do it is to set up a service that allows you to automatically forward text messages to another phone.

And in this guide, we will show you an easy way to set up such a service, so that you can automatically forward SMS from one phone to another. Along with that, we will also show you how to automatically forward messages to your PC or Email address. So let’s get started.

What does automatic SMS forwarding mean

It’s simple – when you set up auto-forwarding, you’ll get all messages sent to your first phone, as well as to your second. Apart from the initial setup process, no manual intervention is required. Auto-forwarding is currently available on email, but requires some workarounds on Android devices.

Unfortunately, Android doesn’t allow you to automatically forward text messages via native features. Therefore, we will download a third-party app called Auto SMS Forwarding to do the same thing.

Everything you need to know about SMS auto-forwarding apps

Before downloading the Auto SMS Forwarding app on your Android device, here’s everything you need to know about the app.

The app requires the following permissions:

• Allow SMS to be received and trigger redirection after the message arrives.
• Enable WAP message reception and trigger redirect after WAP message arrives.
• Allows the app to send SMS messages and redirect them to another phone.
• Allows the app to read SMS information.

While you grant these permissions, the app developers expressly state that they do not store any SMS data. While there is no official way to ensure they do that, all we can do is take their word for it and be mindful of what we do.

Now that you know all that there is, you can proceed to download the app using the link below and move on to the next section to set up the service.
