Post iOS 14 issue

Since updating my iPad to iOS 14 I cannot send or receive non iMessages on my iPad. I’ve checked all the settings I can think of. Anyone else having this issue?

iPad, iPadOS 14

You must explicitly enable/verify that Text Message Forwarding is enabled 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

Fault finding if needed:

I hope you find this information to be helpful in resolving the issue.
