Hey Leannefromwisconsin,


We understand that you're getting messages on your iPad, however they are not appearing on the iPhone. Both devices should be signed in using the same Apple ID. You can check this by going to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. If issue continues, sign out of iMessages on the iPhone, power off the iPhone and then power it back on, sign back in. Since iMessages use the internet to send and receive, make sure the iPhone is connected to a reliable network connection.


Take care.
