Hello,


Are you wishing to use iMessage and synchronize Messages between your iPhone and iPad? Please verify that iMessage is enabled on your iPhone and iPad. Please verify that Messages for iCloud is enabled in Settings -> Tap your account -> iCloud -> Messages on both your iPhone and iPad. Text message forwarding for non iMessage conversations (green bubbles) can be enabled on iPhone in Settings -> Messages -> Text Message Forwarding. This will allow your iPad to send/receive cellular SMS messages by using your iPhone as an intermediate device.
