Hello, as in my description, when I log on to my BofA app and it sends a 2 step verification text, it appears on my iPhone, but not on my iPad. I’ve done everything Apple and Google suggest (verify message forwarding on, same iCloud account, that the correct iPad is associated with the iPhone, etc). What else could be wrong?
iPad Pro, iPadOS 18
If you have an iPhone - and both iPad and iPhone are signed-in to iCloud with the same AppleID - to receive or send SMS/MMS messages (such as verification codes) with iPad you must explicitly enable Text Message Forwarding for your iPad on your iPhone...
On your iPhone:
Settings > Messages > Text Message Forwarding - set to ON - and explicitly enable your iPad from the list of devices.
Also ensure that Messages in iCloud is enabled on both your iPhone and iPad:
Settings > [Your Name / AppleID] > Messages - set to ON
Thanks for the reply…2 thoughts. 1. If that’s the case how would I change that? Secondly, this is a new thing and hadn’t happened before the iPhone update. What’s really strange is after the iPad update yesterday, I now get the text message but it won’t autofill in the app.
Maybe it is sending you a text (not iMessage) you can only receive those on phones with cellular access
Even that should be OK if Text Message Forwarding is enabled on the iPhone to the iPad and the iPhone and iPad are both online at the time of the message.
2 step verification from BofA app works on iPhone, but not on iPad
