I basically took my old iPad Air2 and transferred all the settings to my new 9th gen iPad. I can text some people that are on iPhones but only if it’s mono on mono texts. If I add them into a group it fails. I also can’t text (it fails) non iPhone users, mono or group.
I still can text everyone, iPhone, groups and non Apple users on my old iPad and my iPhone, just not the new one. Any ideas?

Remember your iPad has no ability to send or receive SMS or MMS text messages. It relies on forwarding to/from your iPhone. Set this up correctly for your new iPad.
Thank you very much. Appreciate that you spent the time to reply. I kid you not, as all the research I did told me to add to the text forwarding but I never saw that option on my phone till just now. I guess I was blind.
You are welcome. Glad that you have it resolved now.

New iPad and texts messages are not working.
