Question 1

Is there another way of forwarding "everything" besides the method with the Space?

Accepted Answer

No, unfortunately there isn't — this is an iOS restriction. And as a side effect of this workaround: messages that contain only a single word can't be forwarded, because the "contains space" filter doesn't match them.

Question 2

Why is the "Forward as Message" shortcut action removed?

Accepted Answer

We removed it because this is also possible natively without a third-party app, and we believe the native flow is always the best way to do this. See https://autoforward.app/how-to/iphone-sms-forwarding-via-sms for further info.

Question 3

How can I forward SMS to multiple email addresses?

Accepted Answer

It works by adding multiple actions inside the same Shortcuts automation — one for each email address you want to forward to.

Question 4

How do I stop / remove the forwarding?

Accepted Answer

Open the Shortcuts app, go to Automations, and delete (or disable) the SMS automation you set up for autoforward. Once the shortcut is gone, no more messages will be forwarded.

Question 5

Is this app secure?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Forwarding uses encrypted transport (TLS) end-to-end, and we do not store your message content, recipient addresses, or basically anything — messages pass through and are gone. If you prefer to keep delivery fully under your own control, you can also configure your own SMTP server inside the app, in which case messages only flow through infrastructure you operate.
