Choose where your selected iPhone messages should go. All eight destinations are in Fwrd today. Pick one, follow its guide, and your texts start forwarding on their own.

- **Direct from Fwrd:** Fwrd sends an HTTPS request from the iPhone to each active direct destination.
- **Native Shortcuts:** Fwrd returns the message to the next action; Apple Shortcuts or the destination app performs delivery.
