iPad messages quit syncing recently Good morning. My newish iPad (10th generation) no longer downloads messages. The last message on my iPad is from 1/27/2025. My iPhone displays all messages correctly including multiple messages that are not received by my iPad. Both devices have the latest iOS update 18.3 and I’m not sure if that’s when my troubles began or not. I’ve checked all the iCloud message settings and turned them off the restarted both devices before turning them back on. iCloud messages seemed to sync properly and the message count matches my iPhone and yet the messages on my iPad still end on 1/27 and no messages after that date are displayed. Is anyone else having issues with messages syncing to the iPad after 18.3 update? Or know something else I should check? All other functions on the iPad work correctly and synchronize properly. Thanks!

Make sure Contacts are enabled for iCloud or other accounts.
