Android devices use a different messaging protocol than Apple devices, so sending texts between the two platforms is not possible.

Changing from SMS to MMS Messaging

To change from SMS to MMS messaging, open the Messages app and tap on the conversation with the undelivered message. Then tap on the timestamp of the undelivered message. From there, you will see an option to “Switch to text (SMS/MMS).” Tap this option and your message will be sent as an MMS intead of an SMS.

Troubleshooting Issues With Sending Photos via MMS

MMS is a service that allows you to send and receive photos, videos, and other media through a mobile network. In order to use MMS on your device, you must have an active cellular/mobile data plan and the data connection must be enabled. If you’re using Wi-Fi, it may be blocking MMS messages so you should temporarily disable it and try again using cellular data.

Understanding Why MMS Does Not Work on Wi-Fi

MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service) is a mobile data service that allows users to send and receive messages with images, videos, audio and other media attachments. It relies on a cellular data connection to send and receive the messages, so it won’t work over Wi-Fi. This is because Wi-Fi does not provide the same level of security or reliability as a cellular connection. MMS requires a strong and secure connection in order to ensure that the message reaches its intended recipient safely and withot any issues. The lack of such security features means that MMS messages sent over Wi-Fi can be intercepted or corrupted during transit, leading to potential privacy and security issues.

Conclusion

In conclusion, enabling MMS on Mac is a straightforward process that requires an active cellular data connection, Bluetooth connection with your device, and the text message forwarding feature enabled. With all of these components in place, you will be able to send and receive both iMessages and standard SMS messages from your Mac.
