My iPad won’t let me text anyone? It says message failed every time I try! It’s been happening since Monday. Can anyone give me an explanation?


Thanks

iPad mini 4, iOS 13

"Text"???


There are two types of text messages in the Apple world:

  • iMessages, sent to/from other Apple devices.
  • SMS/MMS messages, sent to/from cellular telephones.


Your iPad is not a cellular telephone. It has no capability to send or receive text messages. Is that the type of message you're referring to?


The iPad can use an iPhone in a Handoff mode to communicate SMS/MMS messages. Is that what you're talking about?
