Missing Message toggle under iCloud on iPad with iOS 9.3.5

I have a iPad Mini with 9.3.5 and I don't seem to find the Message toggle under iCloud. Apart from that iMessages arrive to my iPad but when deleting them on iPhone, that given deleted message is still available on my iPad. Any idea?

Hi ono88,


Thanks for posting! Messages in iCloud is a great feature. We see you want to know if you can use it on an iPad that's running iOS 9, and we'll be glad to provide an answer.


This link covers the System requirements for iCloud:


"Messages in iCloud

Messages in iCloud is available on iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, and Mac with two-factor authentication and Keychain enabled.

  • iOS 11.4 
  • macOS High Sierra 10.13.5"


Based on the above, the iPad mini you're using does not support a software version that is compatible with Messages in iCloud, so that should account for what you're seeing. Let us know if you have any questions.


Take care.
