Can’t see message sent from iPhone to ipad

When I send wife a text from my iPhone she will see the message on her iPhone but not on her iPad. If she sends me a text I get it on both my iPhone AND my ipad. Why doesn’t she see the text on her iPad?

iPad Air, iPadOS 15

Assuming that both your wife’s iPad and iPhone signed-in to iCloud with the same AppleID - to send SMS/MMS messages from the iPad, your wife must explicitly enable Text Message Forwarding for her iPad from her iPhone...


On the 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 has been enabled for both the iPhone and iPad:

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