Fwrd automatically forwards text messages from your iPhone to Email, Slack, WhatsApp, Discord, Telegram, Microsoft Teams, another phone or iMessage, or your own webhook. Set it up once and every matching SMS is passed on as it arrives. FORWARD VERIFICATION CODES Get one-time passcodes and 2FA codes where you actually are: a work Slack channel, a family WhatsApp chat, your inbox, or a second phone. Great for shared accounts, team logins, and codes sent to a phone you don't carry. CHOOSE WHICH TEXTS GET FORWARDED Filters decide which texts reach Discord, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Telegram and webhooks: only texts with certain words, only texts that look like a verification code, or only at certain hours. Check any filter first with Try a Text. HOW IT WORKS 1. Add a destination in Fwrd. 2. Add Fwrd's ready-made shortcut and set up its Message automation in Apple's Shortcuts app. Fwrd walks you through every tap. 3. New texts that match are forwarded automatically, even while your iPhone is locked. Email, another phone and WhatsApp send through their own Shortcuts actions, with Fwrd handing over the text. Discord, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Telegram and webhooks are sent by Fwrd directly from your iPhone. WORKS WITH ZAPIER, MAKE AND N8N Point a webhook at Zapier, Make or n8n to send each text on to Google Sheets, Notion, or any other app. SEE EVERY DELIVERY Activity shows what was forwarded, where it went, and anything that failed. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account and no Fwrd servers. Texts go straight from your iPhone to the apps you choose, and your forwarding history stays on your iPhone. Forwarding needs your iPhone to be on and online. FREE AND PRO Forward 15 texts a month for free. One text counts once, even when it goes to several destinations. Fwrd Pro removes the limit.
