iMessages on multiple devices

Messages on iPhone not appearing on iPad after iOS 14 upgrade. I have tried all suggestions from previous posts - same Apple ID used on both devices and messages stored in the Cloud. Please, what have I missed?

iPhone 6s, iOS 14

In addition to the checks already made, verify that you have explicitly enabled 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


If currently enabled, it may be necessary to disable it - restart the iPad - then re-enable Forwarding.
