Question

My iPad has just started splitting up group messages

I've always been able to send group messages on my iPad. All of a sudden it is not keeping them grouped. I send the group message to all iPhones and then it is sent out to them individually and then returned to me individually. Why and how is this happening?

I've been looking online and it says to go to settings and MMS messaging but that I can't see anywhere in settings. Help!

iPad is all up to date with updates. iPad Pro.

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 (green bubbles) from your iPad 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 explicitly enable your iPad from the list of devices.

MMS Messaging - set to ON

Also ensure that Messages in iCloud is enabled on both your iPhone and iPad:

Settings > [Your Name / AppleID] > Messages - set to ON
