I had to replace my iPad Pro and now I can’t get sms messages to work. They work on my iPhone but not the new iPad. I’ve tried every suggestion found on Google. Help, please! I need to communicate with student’s parents who don’t have Apple devices.
iPad Pro, iPadOS 16
Assuming that both your 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 nee 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
