I recently purchased an iPhone 11 and used settings to sync SMS messages to my iPad Pro. The syncing works fine when a messages is received. However when I read a message on my iPhone it does not show as read on my iPad. Before I upgraded the SMS app would show a message read on my iPad.
How do I fix this?
Thank you.
iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 12
There two different features involved here. One, is Text Message Forwarding which allows you to get your iPhone SMS messages on your iPad. You set that up on your iPhone in Settings>Messages>Text Message Forwarding.
The other feature is iCloud Syncing for Messages. That's what keeps all messages in sync across all of your devices.
Keep all your messages in iCloud - Apple Support
Do you have that enabled on both devices?

Go to Settings/[your name]/iCloud/Messages. Is it ON?
Thank you and Yes. I opened those paths on both devices and compared and they seem to be the same which includes iCloud syncing.
