How to Forward Texts to Email/Cloud Automatically

There are many uses of forwarding SMS to email/cloud automatically. Maybe you’re at work and you can’t have your phone near you. Or, for whatever reason, you wish to give people the impression that a phone number is active even though you’re not using it temporarily? Now you can.

In order to forward messages from an Android phone, you need access to a secondary smartphone or a desktop browser. We have covered the most useful methods for this which feature a couple of Google Play apps, IFTTT, and an advanced solution for users who require bulk SMS transfer. For each of these solutions, follow the guided instructions.

1. With Auto Forward SMS to PC/Phone App

If you want a no-frills, easy to use app that automatically forwards text messages to another phone number or email, consider installing “Auto Forward SMS to PC/Phone” from the Google Play Store (and not unofficial sources).

1. Launch the app and enter your email address or secondary phone number where you want the text messages to be sent to. You also have to give the app your consent to forward OTP from banks (it’s a secure Google Play app so there’s nothing to worry!).
2. Click “Detailed Settings” to manage more options.
