iPhone messages/texts not also being received on my iPad

Texts or messages sent to my iPhone 11 are no longer also being received on my iPad even though I have made no changes in my setting. My IOS is up to date on both. I have tried soft reset of both devices.

iPad, iPadOS 14

You meed to 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

Fault finding if needed:
