Message Syncing Issue

I have looked at every discussion on here and watched many YouTube videos all saying the same thing about how to forward my iPhone messages to my new iPad Pro but I very time I try it nothing happens. It only pulls up the last SMS message I sent. I have even logged my iPad Apple ID and signed back in and it did nothing. I have done everything but completely reset both devices. They are both running 14.4. I shouldn’t have to reset both devices... Please help me. This is very frustrating.

iPad Pro, iPadOS 14

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

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