iMessage showing phone numbers instead of contact names

My iPad Pro shows phone numbers instead of contact names in iMessage. I have tried many fixes on YouTube, but still see phone numbers. Some contact names do appear, but mostly numbers.


I also get this: Messages in iCloud not available as iCloud and iMessage accounts do not match.


Except they do match under Send and Receive



iPad Pro (3rd generation)
