Texts and IMessages are received fine on my iPhone and Apple Watch 7. My linked iPad, with same phone number and Apple ID, is missing recent messages. SMS is on and all are updated IOS. What happened to break the communication between the iPhone and iPad? Thanks.
iPad Pro, iPadOS 15
If you have an iPhone - and both iPad and iPhone are signed-in to iCloud with the same AppleID, to send SMS/MMS messages from your iPad you must explicitly enable Text Message Forwarding for your iPad on your iPhone. Verify these settings:
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

Thank you for your reply. My settings are correct as you described them. Here is another possible solution — we recently installed the Verizon Digital Secure app on the iPhones. I think that it may be stopping messages from being copied from my iPhone to my iPad.
