I send a message on my iPhone, shouldn't I be able to see that message also on my iPad and vice versa?

Hi ARNDT3,


Thanks for posting your question about Messages between your iPhone and iPad.


In order to see messages in the way you describe, you'd need to have either Messages in iCloud or Text Message Forwarding enabled. Check out the resources below to learn more and to get started on setting these features up:


Keep all your messages in iCloud


How to forward SMS/MMS text messages from your iPhone to your iPad, iPod touch or Mac


Best wishes.
