When you send SMS (Green Bubble) messages then you do not get the “Delivered” or “Read” notifications.

When you send iMessages (Blue Bubble) then you get the “Delivered” notification and “Read” notifications only if the receiver of the iMessages allows it.

Ensure that your iPad and your iPhone are signed on to the same Apple ID. Ensure that iMessage and FaceTime are signed on to the same Apple ID.

On your iPad, open Settings ➡️ Messages ➡️ Send & Receive: Here, you should see the phone number that is associated with your iPhone and iPad. Ensure that only the Phone number is checked and uncheck any email addresses that may be checked.
