I have an older ipad and a new ipad air. They are set up identically. I get texts on the old ipad but some do not come on the new ipad. I want to start using the new ipad exclusively, but am afraid to because I'm not getting all of my texts on it. Why might this be happening?
iPad Air Wi-Fi
You must explicitly enable Text Message Forwarding for your new iPad on your iPhone.
On your iPhone:
Settings > Messages > Text Message Forwarding - set to ON - and explicitly enable your new 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
