How to forward a text from an Android device

For the purposes of this guide, we'll use the Verizon Message+ app.

1. Open the texting app you usually use and tap on the conversation that includes the text message(s) you're trying to forward.

2. Tap and hold one of the text messages that you want to forward. When a menu pops up, tap on "Forward Message."

3. Select all of the text messages you want to forward by tapping on them one by one. When you're ready to forward the message, tap the arrow icon in the upper-right corner of the screen.

4. Tap on the contact(s) to whom you'd like to forward the text message. The icon next to their name or phone number should appear as a circle with a check mark inside. When you're ready to send the message, tap on the blue circle with the paper plane icon inside.

Your text message(s) should now have successfully forwarded to the person you selected.
