Receiving text messages from Android users on MAC and Ipad

I have an android phone (Samsung). Is there a way to bring my text messages from my android phone into my ipad?

Hi Sdclark1956,

There are two different ways you can get SMS/MMS messages on your iPad and Mac.

1. Messages in iCloud. Turning on Messages in iCloud on allows your devices to sync messages between them. This means if you get a message, it goes to all devices and if you delete a message, it deletes from all devices. It is the case that in certain situations, you can now recover deleted messages. Also, using Messages in iCloud requires iCloud storage.

• Set up iCloud for Messages on all your devices
• Recover deleted text messages on your iPhone or iPad

2. SMS/MMS message forwarding. This feature does not use iCloud storage, but the message is forwarded to the device(s) you want and from there you can respond to the message. As messages are being pushed through and not synced, you may not get the same experience on each device, meaning that if you delete a message, it might not delete from other devices.

• Forward SMS/MMS text messages from your iPhone to your Mac or iPad.

Take care.
