Not receiving group texts (messages)

I have a new i-Pad Pro which seems to be fully synced with my old iPad and my iPhone, but it is not receiving texts from a group of 5 users (3 w Apple phones and 2 with android). All other texts come through except this one string. The texts do come through on my phone and my old iPad. How do I fix this?

If you have an iPhone - and both iPad and iPhone are signed-in to iCloud with the same AppleID - to send/receive SMS/MMS messages from your iPad you must explicitly enable Text Message Forwarding for your new 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
