I had my iPad Pro set up to send/receive text messages via my iPhone. This has been working for over a year and now suddenly it’s not (messages say “not delivered”). I found the instructions in another post to ensure I have my iPhone set up to forward messages to the iPad. I enabled messages via iCloud on my iPad. I toggled all of these settings on and off and it’s not working. Any thoughts?

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 verify that you have explicitly enabled 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

On your iPhone make sure Settings->Messages->Send as SMS is turned ON. SMS is the only way to text to Android users as it uses your provider’s SMS network.
Thank you. This setting is on, but it is still not working.
Thank you. Those settings were on. I did find some helpful info on in the “fault finding” link above and enabled messages over Wi-Fi. This seemed to solve the problem. I’m not sure why I was able to send messages for over a year, but either way—it appears this fixed it. Thanks again!
