Make sure that “Text Message Forwarding” is turned on, on your iPhone.

Then make sure that, on your iPad Mini, you go to:

Settings

iCloud

Tap “Show More” under “Apps using iCloud” OR simply turn on Messages, if already visible.

Sometimes, those options go unused if not done intentionally when setting up the device.
