Fwrd - SMS Forwarder
SMS to Email, Slack & WhatsApp
Only for iPhone
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPhone. Not verified for macOS.
iPhone
Get verification codes in Slack, Email, WhatsApp, and more the moment they arrive. Set up once. No account. 15 free texts a month.
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. Create one Message automation in Apple's Shortcuts app. Fwrd's in-app guide and setup videos show 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.

Ratings & Reviews
Fwrd 1.1 is a big update.
• Eight destinations: Email, another phone or iMessage, WhatsApp, Discord, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Telegram, and your own webhook. Webhooks also work with Zapier, Make, n8n, Mattermost, and Rocket.Chat.
• Filters: choose which texts each chat or webhook destination gets, by words, verification codes, or time of day. Try a text to check a filter first.
• Setup videos inside the app, and shorter step-by-step guides that fold away once you're done.
• Include Who Sent It: optionally show the sender above each forwarded text.
• A clearer dashboard, with a new digest of where your texts went.
• Fwrd now runs on iOS 26.0 and later.
• Email, phone, and WhatsApp forwards now count toward the free 15 forwards a month.
• Smoother motion and many smaller fixes throughout.
