My iPad is not receiving the texts that my phone receives. I searched for answers but nothing fixes it. I have an iPhone 8 and an iPad that is about a year old.

You must explicitly enable Text Message Forwarding for your iPad on your iPhone.


On your iPhone:

Settings > Messages > Text Message Forwarding - set to ON - and explicitly enable your 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
