Missing texts

I get texts from my iPhone on my iPad, but not from certain contacts. Why. I also find that I can’t send texts to those contacts from my iPad. Why?

SMS Text Messages are a Cellular Phone feature - not directly supported by iPad. To use SMS messaging on your iPad, your iPad must be paired with an iPhone - and text message forwarding enabled.


On iPhone:

Settings > Messages > Text Message Forwarding - select ON for each associated device.


Hope you find this to be helpful.
