I can receive messages from other iPhone or iPad users, but not androids on my new iPad. My older iPad and iPhone were able to receive all messages. What can I do to receive all messages on my new iPad?

iPad, iPadOS 14

You must explicitly enable Text Message Forwarding for your new 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 to helpful in resolving the issue.
