OnePlus: Forward an SMS or MMS Message

Retyping or copying a text just to send it to someone else wastes time, especially with longer MMS content like photos or shared links. The Messages app on OnePlus phones has a built-in Forward option that gets skipped by many users because it hides inside a long-press menu. Without it, important information often gets lost in manual retyping or screenshots.

Forward an SMS or MMS Message auf OnePlus

The Forward function in the OnePlus Messages app lets you send an existing SMS or MMS to another contact without copying text manually. It sits inside the long-press context menu, which is why many users overlook it.

Where to find Forward

Open Open the Messages appChoose a conversationTap and hold a messageOpen the menuTap on ForwardChoose an existing conversation or tap on New message and follow the instructions on screen.

Once you tap Forward, the message content is attached to a fresh outgoing message. You pick the recipient the same way you would when starting any new conversation.

When this helps

Forwarding works well for confirmation codes, addresses, or shared MMS photos that a second contact needs immediately. It keeps the original formatting and attachments intact, unlike copying plain text.

If the message contains sensitive verification codes, check with the recipient before forwarding, since some services flag redistributed codes as suspicious.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. The attachment stays linked to the message when you use Tap on Forward, so the recipient receives the same photo or video without recompression.
