SMS - Not Delivered (but they are), and not received on Ipad

I recently upgraded to ios14 and IMessages from my IPad Pro are fine. All SMS and MMS messages show as “not delivered” BUT they actually are being received on the other persons phone. I can not receive their response. Works fine on phone - any ideas?

iPad Pro, iPadOS 14

You must explicitly enable/verify 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
